Lots of folks are accustomed to driving small to mid-size automobiles and SUVs. Driving a motorhome, especially for the first time can be intimidating. The truth is with power steering, automatic transmissions and great visibility almost any experienced driver can quickly adapt to driving a motorhome, but there are some new dynamics and techniques you must take into consideration.
Leading RV rental insurance provider MBA Insurance lists the top 5 RV rental insurance claims for RVs as:
1) Hitting concrete islands at gas pumps
2) Hitting obstacles when making right turns
3) Hitting overhead obstructions
4) Backing the RV into something
5) Side-swipe damage to the RV
If you think about it all of these incidents are caused by the length, width or height of the RV, because it is longer, wider and taller than you are accustomed to.
