If you glance at your convex mirrors occasionally you can see where your coach is in relation to the lines. Look back at the road in front of you and see where your head is in relation to the lane. It just takes time behind the wheel to get used to driving a wide vehicle, after a while you won't even have to think about it.
With a bigger coach you need to be concerned more about tail swing when turning, especially in traffic at lights and stop signs. When you turn your wheels may stay in the lane but your tail end will be crossing the line in to the other lane and could hit another vehicle. There are several good videos on YouTube that show the dynamics of tail swing.
