Caravan Training

Caravanning is a past time that many thousands of people enjoy every year. However, to the potential newcomer, the thought of purchasing and towing a caravan may seem rather daunting.

My caravan courses are for customers who may have little or no experience of towing. Alternatively, some customers may have moved to a larger caravan or have not towed for some time and are just in need of a refresher session. For some customers the thought of having to reverse a caravan is a concern.

Some customers book caravan training sessions because their partner has always done the towing, and they want to know how to tow in case of emergencies, or to share the towing duties on longer journeys. 

The courses are customised to suit your requirements and are on a 1:1 basis or 2 people can be trained at the same time. All my courses would involve using your tow car and my training caravan.

Beginners Caravan Course includes:

Car and caravan weights explained, loading a caravan, securing the caravan before towing, pre-towing caravan checks, hitching and unhitching, on-road driving session, setting up the caravan on site, basic reversing with the caravan. Included in this course is a booklet that covers the course content plus lots more advice and information so there is no need to try and remember everything or make notes.  This is a 5-hour course, and the price is £250.

Caravan Reversing Course includes:

Explanation of the caravan braking system, straight-line reversing, left and right reversing, reversing on to a pitch, taking a shunt, and the point of jackknife. If you have any particular reversing scenarios you would like to cover we can include those as well. This is a 3-hour course, and the price is £150.
