To drive a Winnebago safely, drivers must consider the vehicle's height and length to ensure it can clear highways, be aware it is more difficult to maneuver than a normal car so requires more stopping distance, use lower gears and gradual speed, and take precautions like wearing seatbelts, using headlights appropriately in poor weather conditions like fog or blizzards.

to maneuver
• For example, heavier vehicles may not stop as
quickly and require more stopping distance
• Drivers should familiarize themselves with

arrangements are pursued
4. Braking/Speed
• Vehicle requires greater braking distance
compared to normal sized cars
• Use lower gears to allow engine to help slow
vehicle
