So having previously never towed anything before, I did a three hour introduction course today. So glad I did it. The instructor was fantastic and made a point of being guided by what I felt the need to practice. The main focus was on safely hitching and unhitching as well as reversing. Don't mean to blow my own trumpet, but I took to it really well and had a lot of fun in the process. We also did about an hour out on the road. I'd recommend a course like this to anyone new to towing or who hasn't done it for a long time and want brush up on their skills. I feel cautiously confident now about towing my caravan when I first pick it up.
