    Same, she has zero experience towing anything and I'm OK with that. She'll drive the truck just fine without a trailer however,

    When I had the F250 CrewCab and a 34 1/2' tow behind, she would drive some of the time if needed. Since we now have the Dually and a 44' 5th Wheel, she has not driven that while towing. We are going to do some training/practice with it this summer though, as we are headed from the Knoxville area to Williams, AZ (Grand Canyon area) this fall. The drive out there will be over a five day period, and all but the last travel day will be 300+ miles. Almost the entire trip will be interstate and she will do just fine and I will be happy to have someone else share the driving out there and back. One way distance is almost 1800 miles, so doing that kind of distance for 5 days in a row will hopefully work out just fine.

    My wife shares the towing but doesn’t like to back it up. If she was last to drive we will switch and I’ll back in if it’s not a pull-thru site.

    My wife can drive the dually fine but doesn't judge the tight turns with the trailer very well...it's easier if I pull the trailer.

    I am the female partner and the whole setup is mine. My husband stays home and the kids and I go adventuring. He is just not interested in camping.

    Pre-pandemic, I happened upon a womens-only group at a campground once called Sisters on the Fly. Any of you who have somewhat interested women in your life should have them check out their website. I will be joining them once this mess is over.

    That's awesome! I can't imagine your situation any more than I can imagine her staying home and me going when the kids were small but way to go!

    Yes and No, I drive the rig and she tells me what to do, how to do it, and where to go.....

    Just kidding when we got married we made an agreement that she would make all the small decisions and I would make all the big decisions, and after 45 years there has never been any big decisions to make.

    Absolutely, she also is learning to hook up.

    We decided many years ago to be prepared, my brother hurt himself camping and his wife had no idea how to drive them out to get home.

    It’s kind of like driving a stick shift......a life skill everyone should know how to do. Especially if your adventurous.

    We have just begun her training process. She was hesitant at first but after her first 45 minute stretch she felt better about the idea. We started on our trip back from the coast. Nice long straight road so she could get the feel of how the truck handles when pulling the 5th wheel. She did very a very good job and even went through a traffic circle.
    I'm not expecting her to back in to tight spots or anything like that but I want her to feel comfortable pulling in case of an emergency.
