I have just a little rig, but haul all over the place by myself, and sometimes it's scary. When I start getting freaked out by 'What-if's', I just realize that I'm not the first person in the world to be in whatever predicament and everybody else apparently came out OK. And if they could handle it, so can I.

It also helps to plan ahead, like not getting too low on fuel so I'm stuck trying to get into some teeny-weeny gas station. I make notes in my atlas when I find a good spot to fuel up, stop for food, or take a break. Truck stop type places rock! Sometimes when I get to where I'm going, backing causes me grief (tight spots); almost always someone will offer to do it for me, but I prefer to ask them to help me out with directions and spotting - that way I learn by doing and it's surprising how many helpful hints you pick up from other people's way of doing or saying something.

Go and have fun, happy trails!

So sorry for your loss. 

I know how you feel, I haul a 28' 1993 class B motorhome pulling a 2 horse w/dressing room Merhow.  Just started at age 46, going to the shows with my dog & horse.  Often I've wished to have a rookie stripe on my bumper (like NASCAR) or at least a bumper sticker saying "Lighten up, I'm doing the best I can" but I just keep going and am really proud of myself when I get there.  Go slow, be confident and if you have to have a panic attack wait until you get where you're going!
