Driver Training Courses For Caravan Tourers

As economic pressure mounts on thousands of families to ‘keep the costs down’ – creating a holiday focus on ‘exploring for less - the Caravan and Motorhome Club has launched its driving training courses to help tourers make the most of the great outdoors without breaking the bank!

Whether you are new to caravanning, motorhoming and campervanning, or a seasoned tourer who just needs a refresher, the Club’s experienced trainers will make sure you feel comfortable and safe in your vehicle before heading out.

Operating at 16 locations across the UK, each course is led by friendly, top-notch trainers with first-hand experience, who are members and well-seasoned tourers themselves. Courses are open to both Club members and non-members.

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

Courses in our readership area are run at centres in Askham Bryan near York, Leyburn, North Yorkshire, Wrexham, Cheshire and Macclesfield. The Club is also launching six new locations in 2023 to help more people make the most of the great outdoors, with course openings in York, Boston, Lancaster and Sheffield.
