As Pierre said, the CFIs don't need to be checked out in a RV, and I know of 3 CFIs near me that will fly with me.

It is good to have a list of CFIs. Two of the ones I've worked with are in their 70s, so I keep in mind that I need to continually cultivate those contacts.

I always use my plane, although I did fly one lesson in a rented 172XP. My plane failed the mag check and I didn't want to stiff the CFI. He had already driven in for the scheduled lesson. The GNS430 in the 172XP was nice, but the flying was sort of like jumping off a thoroughbred and onto a Holstein.

Jim- If you need a CFI in your general area who is comfortable in RVs, I'd be happy to help you. I'm about an hour away from you in my -4. That being said, there are probably others that would qualify who are in the KC area.
