    Does your female partner drive your outfit?

    Just curious how many women share driving duty whatever your truck/trailer combo might be. I usually just drive if it's going to be 3 hours or less but if the drive is long enough to need a stop we both drive. Always have from the first pop-up 35 years ago. We're still sorting out this new to us TT and have done a couple of close by weekend trips so she hasn't yet but is looking forward to it. We do try to time it so I'm at the wheel when we go through cities but she's been in heavy traffic a few times and did fine. We've done 600 mile days trading off and you're tired at the end but not wiped out.

    My sister and BIL took delivery of a new 2500HD Silverado in October and have a new 32' Jayco 5th wheel sitting on the dealer's lot covered in snow in Pa and she hasn't even driven the truck yet and has no intention of pulling the trailer.

    And if you're the main driver and female I'm not being sexist, it just seems that the great majority of posters here are of the male gender so that's who I'm addressing.

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

    My wife has never driven any of our trucks - empty or towing. Of course she's at least as capable as I am but is intimidated. It works great for us because I prefer driving. She's the navigator.

    All the time, we share the driving duties on most anything over 120 miles. Changing every hour or what ever is appropriate.

    My wife is afraid to drive anything big so I do all the driving when going camping. She'll take turns if we take the car someplace though. I told her if something happens to me she'll have to hire someone to tow the rig home.

    If you do much traveling, you may want to join FMCA. They will pay to have somebody return your RV to your home if you were to be incapacitated and nobody else with you can drive the rig.

    Thanks for that tip! I'll look into it. It would give me some peace of mind knowing that issue would be taken care of if something happened to me while on the road!
