caravan towing courses

Hi all

We are new to towing a caravan and feel it wise to go on a course , we are in Southport/lancashire area, anyone know where and how often they are held ?? (hubby scraped side of van on gate post and has suffered massive loss of confidence)

Thanks !
 
As new caravanners why don't you join the Caravan Club and go on one of their courses. As a member you will also get very useful handbook which is full of information including technical, club sites, CLs, etc.

Thanks will do !
 
Hi Tina, I can highly recommend the Cravan Club Course, which both my husband and I went on (did that sound like the Queen?) at Preston earlier this year. Join the CC and do it. I had never towed before but having been on the course I now tow regularly. My husband can now reverse on to a pitch without ramming our caravan into a hedge and without creating a massive spectator sport for the rest of the people on site!
 
Hi Tina,

The CC towing courses are really wothwhile doing, particually if you've never towed before. I found the course gave me confidence for towing & also reversing onto pitches & into tight spaces. Highly recommended & money well spent!
 
As a bit of a variation on the theme of the replies thus far, the Camping & Caravanning Club run good courses too (I am simply a satisfied customer!) - their website gives details of where/when/cost/etc.

If you want to go on and do the Advanced Towing test, do the Camping & Caravan Club course. The Caravan Club course is similar but is NO LONGER accepted as a mandatory pre-requisite by the IAM.
 
Hi Tina

we joined the Caravan Club and went in March on a towing course at myerscough college in preston

We had a great time the course was well run and everyone was so friendly.
