My first day of driving the rv

So I figured  it was time.    I  wanted to  start where traffic was light  and  the road straight.    I  started  in florida  on I10.   As soon as I  started I was sorry.     It is  harder  than it looks.    The Rv is 40 ft long plus another 20ft for the tow dolly and car.      So 60 ft to think about  before changing lanes and slowing  and increasing  speed.     The steering wheel is wiggley  and requires  constant  attention.    No just going  straight.   Then a truck  comes up on the side  and it's sideways  air pushes me toward  the  gutter.    As I  am trying  to keep  it straight and not over compensate.   The rumble  strip  is loud.     My stress level  was through  the  roof.    norm said I did fine.     But before finishing up my eighty  miles,  a big Rig came up on my left side.    He must have been texting  and  swerved into my lane  almost  hit me.    The words that came out of me are not fit for this blog.     I  switched  out of driving.    I  will  try another  day.    That is enough for today.
