My husband and I took Barney s course about 4 years ago. He is a great teacher and we are much safer drivers due to this course. The video lessons are wonderful. Thanks so much for the refresher course. I look forward to the video on parking.

Smitty, Unfortunately the dot system won t work with towables. A motorhome has a straight chassis that does not bend. A tow vehicle and trailer bend in the middle when you turn, which means that the dots would move with the truck, not the trailer.

Pat, Yes, the dot method is new. Barney tries to constantly update his course and offer new approaches to make driving a motorhome even easier.

We went to Barney s class 3 years ago and it was the best information we have received on any aspect of RVing. It s kept us out of bad situations and gotten us out of tight spots. We miss seeing Barney in the videos for this series. Good refreshers.

Brilliant idea! At the risk of plastering the mirror with dots, I d like to place a dot where my hookups are. Maybe all it would take is a mark on the same dot. How many times have we pulled in 2 feet too short or too long?

My husband & I took your class and I was so thrilled about the dot system .
We really do appreciate the great job you did in your instruction. I was very fearfull of driving a big RV but I did it and was feeling very comfortable after drivng. Thanks!

After reading about he dots, we took the class today and found out how they work and how helpful they are even after driving full time for over 31/2 years. Pat says thank you for your support and encouragement.

I don t have an RV, but I used to drive big trucks , and one thing I would do with trainees is find a big parking lot, pick a set of parking space lines and have them use those to practice - pull in, back up - from different angles and distances.

We got our first class A (35 ) in July 2009 after driving a 31 class C we wanted to be as safe as possible and learn the difference. Barney s course was filled with useful information even to seasoned drivers. Thanks Barney for all the tips.

Is it possible to buy the complete set of training videos. Am going to be renting a 40 foot unit this summer to check out the life style before I buy and will only be traveling in Canada. Thanks Jim
