1. Always Take a Practice Drive

• Hop into the cab or drivers seat of your
  motorhome.
• Adjust the mirrors, seat belt height, lumbar
  support, and armrests.
• Make sure you can easily turn your head to see in
  all directions.
• Check your view in the mirrors.
• Practice backing up, turning in both directions,
  braking, and parking in a space
• If you want to be in full control of your
  motorhome before your trip, definitely take that
  practice drive under controlled conditions

2. Familiarize Yourself With Your RVs Height

• Generally, the average height of a Class A RV is
  10-14 feet, which is 2 feet shorter than the
  average overpass height.
• There are also some railroad bridges and traffic
  bridges that have 10 foot clearance as well. 
• Find out the exact height of your motorhome and
  tape it to the dash in numbers large enough to
  see clearly while driving. 
• This little trick may just save you from a very
  expensive and dangerous accident.

3. Plan Out Your Fuel Stops Carefully

• Stopping off for fuel at a regular gas station is
  generally a bad idea when driving an RV. 
• It is far too easy to cause or be involved in a
  dangerous accident, and maneuvering in the tight
  spaces of a small gas station can be challenging
  even for experienced motorhome drivers.
• As you plan your trip, try to find larger fueling
  stations that can accommodate your motorhome
  hire. 
• Its also a good idea to have someone outside the
  motorhome guiding you as you pull up to the pump
  too for safetys sake.

4. Choose Your Route To Minimize Stress

• Driving is half the battle when it comes to
  making your first trip in an motorhome. 
• The actual execution of a travel plan on a
  timeline can be nerve wracking if youve never
  done it before.
• Prepare in advance to keep yourself from
  stressing out or panicking along the way. 
• First, always reserve spots in campgrounds where
  you plan to make your stops. Reservations day to
  day can fill up fast, and if youve been driving
  all day and you dont want to be stuck without
  power in a freedom camping spot, you need to make
  sure your space is saved where you stop for the
  day.
