The Caravan and Motorhome Club has launched its 2023 driving training courses to help tourers make the most of the great outdoors. Course attendees will be able to gain confidence and perfect their manoeuvring skills with expert trainers.
The Club says: “Whether you are new to caravanning, motorhoming and campervanning, or a seasoned tourer who just needs a refresher, the Club makes sure you feel comfortable and safe in your vehicle before you head out on your holiday adventure. The Club has over 40 years of experience running these courses. Operating at 16 locations across the UK, each course is led by friendly, expert trainers with first-hand experience, who are members and well-seasoned tourers themselves. Courses are open to both Club members and non-members.”
The training courses are split into: Practical Caravanning; Caravan Manoeuvring; and Motorhome Manoeuvring. The Caravan and Motorhome manoeuvring courses both take less than seven hours, whilst the Practical Caravan Manoeuvring course, for people who are completely new to caravanning, is completed within 10 hours, split over 1.5 days.
Sessions include:
- Manoeuvring advice
- Hitching and towing safely
- Straightforward safety checks
- Understanding the laws that affect caravanning and motorhoming
- Practice in manoeuvring an outfit forwards and backwards
- Understanding loading and how it affects towing
The courses are run at centres in Askham Bryan, Worcester, Winchester, Dumfries, Plumpton, Leyburn, Llanelli, Wrexham, Cheshire and Macclesfield. The Club is also launching six new locations in 2023, with course openings in Edgmond, South Ockendon, York, Boston, Lancaster and Sheffield for the first time.
The courses are priced as follows:
- Practical Caravanning Course – £204.00
- Caravan Manoeuvring Course – £174.00
- Motorhome Manoeuvring Course – £204.00
Harvey Alexander, Director of Marketing and Membership Services at the Caravan and Motorhome Club said, “By launching a variety of new locations this year this provides course participants with flexibility on where to learn or refresh their skills before setting off on their touring adventures in the UK and Europe.”
