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.


Super D is right about city traffic. I was thinking about interstate or highways but cities are a bit more challenging. He is also correct that time behind the wheel makes it much better.
