Millions of Americans have taken to the roads with the surge in recreational vehicle (RV) popularity due to falling prices as well as social media exposure. In addition, more and more people are realizing the importance of spending time outdoors with their loved ones after the COVID-19 pandemic had us cooped up in our homes for an extended amount of time. RVs can be an ideal way of traveling across cities and states, visiting parks, beaches, and mountainous regions without having to compromise on the comforts of home on account of the luxurious nature of RVs these days. Recreational vehicles can come fitted with bedrooms, restrooms, sitting areas, lounges and so much more, and can be self-sustaining if fitted with solar panels. With the rise of electrically powered vehicles, modern RVs can go hundreds of miles without ever stopping to refuel or recharge.

While RV traveling can be tons of fun and affordable, it can also present veritable problems for travelers owing to the size of the vehicles, which are more often than not over 30 feet in length and weighing 10,000 pounds or more. This makes them much harder to maneuver and brake, making it imperative that the drivers operating them have a set of skills and knowledge that keep both the RV and passengers safe. Given the sometimes exorbitant costs of recreational vehicles, some families opt to lease this vehicle for a week or two, and with this comes the option of having an RV operator for hire for their journeys or adventures. Should you get injured due to the negligent actions of this individual, you may be able to recover compensation, something we would be honored to legally facilitate.

Inexperienced Rental RV Drivers Likely to Cause Accidents

There are a few ways in which RV driver inexperience can lead to accidents. Inexperienced drivers are unfamiliar with the size and maneuverability of RVs. They therefore may underestimate the difficulties associated with operating a vehicle of such size. For instance, they may not take into account the wide turning radius of an RV, leading to collisions and backing into walls and so on. In addition, larger vehicles such as RVs have larger blind spots making them harder for the operator to see other vehicles, pedestrians or cyclists. Lastly, these vehicles tend to be taller and as such, may not meet the height considerations required to go under toll bridges and similar structures.

In addition, inexperienced RV drivers may not have a full appreciation of the mechanical systems found in these behemoth vehicles, making it easier for them to make preventable mistakes on the road. For instance, RVs need longer stopping distances to account for their weight which means braking the vehicle in a timely manner in order to prevent a potential crash, as well as ensuring that the RV is not overloaded or improperly loaded which can cause swaying and vehicle rollovers.

Why is RV Driver Training Essential?

RV driver training is vital for the successful operation of these vehicles and as such, RV rental companies are solely responsible for ensuring their drivers have the hours and certification needed to operation recreational vehicles. In addition, these drivers should have sufficient hours of driving practice under different environments to ensure they can confidently operate these vehicles in any weather and under any conditions.
