Escapees On-Line Boot Camp
For those considering a move up to a larger RV or if you are a first time RVer, you might consider this opportunity:

Jim Koca is one of the instructors there (among others). He has a great personality and likes to see happy campers. I've learned a lot from him. you'll often see him at RV Shows and unrelated Rallies.
"RVers Online University is Escapees RV Club's answer to the demand for more RV education. With millions of RVs currently on the road, and more joining every day, it is important for RVers to understand the capabilities and limitations of their rigs."
In addition to this resource, you would definitely want to attend the Redwood Rally each July. It is another great resource to learn from AND meet great and helpful people.
For the Escapees On-Line Training courses, there is a cost associated.
In addition to these On-Line Classes, there is also a Driving School on site:
"Learn how to operate and maintain your RV for only $79."
And finally, there is the Smart Weigh Program where each tire of your RV and Tow Vehicle can be weighed independently so that you can be sure you are not over-weight (per axle set or tire). This has been available at the Redwood Rally in the past. It is also available thru the Escapees Rallies.
BTW... I am not paid to sponsor the Escapees Club. I am a member and have taken advantage of everything they have to offer. For a newbie, this is yet another tremendous resource to consider.
Here is another separate article on the same:
