nice to see the easy way of backing up, would also like to see the how you would back up if the site is on the passengets side. i feel that there should be more info on the not so easy ways you come across when your in your r.v.

Whether your an experienced driver or a first timer...this course is well worth the time. Barney Alexander has some wonderful tips. For me being a first timer, it took away my fears. Thank you Barney.

It is 3 more difficult to back in from passenger side but what are the reference points. Also, if you have a tag axle which tire is the 8 feet measured from? Thank you for the good information.

I, like thousands of others have a iPhone. Unfortunately we are unable to access the videos because flash player is not available on this device. This is the only drawback with this device. Oh well. Ron

I have tried to watch almost all of the videos and they stop playing about half way through. Any suggestions on how to get them to run properly?

We have taken your driving course at Lazy Days in the past and learned alot. We have been waiting for something like this to help us remember what we heard and did during your course. Thanks so much for putting this together. Keep up the good work

UPDATE - the only video that works correctly for me so far is Part 7. Maybe the web person could upload Parts 1 - 6 as they did for Part 7.

I took the driving course on 2/3/10 and found it to be very good. Went online to refresh all the information and the videos would only play half of it. Is there a way of downloading the information to my computer.
