In our latest RVgeeks Driving School video, Peter, a former Safety & Training Manager for a large bus company, shows how to adjust and use RV mirrors and monitor & control your rig's lane position.
If you're not sure exactly how to manage those convex mirrors, this clear explanation will take all the mystery out of using the two mirrors in combination to protect yourself against the unseen.
Minimizing blind areas and understanding how to use all four mirrors to protect you and your RV is easy when you know how.
We'll also show you how to tell if you're keeping that big RV in your own lane, using visual cues that are right there at your disposal.

This is, without a doubt, THE best video I've watched on how to drive a motorhome and trust me, I've watched too many to count. I've never seen anyone go through all the steps, mark out the driving area, use cones, hose down the tires to illustrate how the wheels track and use a drone to film so much of it from above. You guys did a phenomenal job and I appreciate all the work you put into making this video. This merits way more than a five star rating.

Pausing again@ 2minutes 38 seconds. You are spot on about aim, because , if at this point you don’t know how tall your rig is, aiming your mirrors at airplanes coming up your 6 is pretty much worthless. You got this, I’m just bemusing at this point! GOOD VID! Keep them coming. One less accident is greatly appreciated.

I have driven a commercial truck and own a RV for decades and this is exactly how the true professional drivers setup the mirrors. You must see a little bit of the vehicle for many reasons. Like better judging of distance and helps to drive straight when looking at what is behind you. If you start to drift you can see the change in position to the lines on the road. Then quickly look forward and adjust. Some not mentioned you can see the tilt of the vehicle, due to wind or if the road is slick. This can help in making better decisions about the driving conditions. Safe Travels.

Great advice, as the operator of a 40’ truck in an area with heavy traffic, I would also add that if you move your head relative to your right mirror (lean a bit forward and back) you can get a greater field of view out of the same mirror position. I find this helpful to confirm everything is good just before moving to the right. Also, put your turn signal on early, many drivers realize you may not see them and will either try to speed past you like an idiot, or will let you get over.

I'm constantly impressed with the quality content, narration, level of detail, and edits of your videos! Extremely professional! You really should be paid by a company to develop these videos. I am not aware of another video on this topic...at least at this level of detail. I consider myself a very defensive driver and constantly "scan", not only side to side but at varying distances ahead. I'm always amazed at the number of drivers that never scan and just react or simply rely on a single flat mirror. I have 3 teen drivers and we own 9 vehicles (including the 2 motor homes) and each vehicle has a convex mirror in addition to the flat mirror. Thanks again for the awesome video on a very important topic. I'm really looking forward to your series of defensive driving videos. Take care!

In Preparation for CDL School. Love the clear and precise visual and verbal explanation. Although a semi has the fender mirror to assist in blind spots this video helps understand proper placement if the mirrors, and staying in one's lane. Tip. Place your left foot as far to the left and forward console as if your foot is skating along the center line. This will aid in staying in the lane. Also try to visualize the center of the hood( maybe a line or an emblem) line up to the right passenger side road lines.

Helpful?! Unquestionably so. The bit about using correctly focused mirrors to learn to center the motorhome/RV in the lane alone was worth way more than the price of admission. But, of course that tidbit would be entirely unavailable without knowing how to properly focus ones mirrors. Thank you once again for this excellent video! :-) I am all the more aware of its value as I contemplate driving our newly purchased American Coach Revolution 42T 830, or so, miles from Alvarado, Texas to its new home, just outside Chattanooga. This video and the one about off-tracking and rear overhang may prove to be my salvation. Thanks again!

You guys are doing a great job stepping up your videos. This one is very informative. I'm actually going to show it to my firefighters. This works great for our rigs. Thanks!

Just wanted to agree with all the other comments that this is a fantastic video (as per your usual standards). We have a truck and 5th wheel but a lot of this information is applicable to that setup as well. Also liked the trip across the Port Mann bridge! :) Take care.

Great video. I think I do as you have shown when driving. Only things is that lane control becomes much harder when there is a lot of wind and you have to make adjustments for the direction of the wind so as to not drift over the line or drift on the shoulder and go into a ditch.

Yup. Wind is a challenge. Best advice for that: reduced speed.

Great demo! My class C has similar mirrors to yours and I love them. Frankly I wish my CR-V had them too though they wouldn't be fashionable. Keep up the good work.

You and Your Son... Gone with the Wynns have educated me to where now I am more serious then ever to buy a motorhome once I am totally retired, hopefully this year. Thanks for all your how-to-do blogs and videos... you are very much appreciated in more ways than one. And Yes, I am a subscriber to both and have been for some time.... :) Peace and Blessings Always!!!

+Freedom Quest Network Thanks again! We started RVing with the expectation we'd be on the road for 2 or 3 years. That was 13 years ago! LOL Jason & Nikki are the best. We were boondocking with them again just last week. Best wishes in your plans to start RVing when you retire. It's the greatest lifestyle ever. By the way, John is my husband, not my son. We're celebrating our 20th anniversary in a couple of months with an epic RV trip abroad. Stay tuned!

+RVgeeks Sorry, I did not know who's who when writing here. Hopefully one day I will meet you both and Nikki and Jason so I can personally thank all four of you... Until Then... Happy Anniversary When That Day Comes!!!

+Freedom Quest Network No worries! He's 10 years younger than I am and surely loves the fact that people think he's young enough to be my son! LOL Thanks for the good wishes. We'll look forward to meeting on the road sometime. Happy RV shopping! - Peter
