Towing in depth

The sessions, led by specially trained instructors, are designed to help drivers build confidence in towing and manoeuvring a caravan. The experience is open to complete beginners as well as those who want to refresh their skills.

Participants must be aged over 25 and will need to complete a DVLA driving licence check in advance, which can be shown on a phone or as a printout. A valid Motorhome & Caravan Show entry ticket is required before booking a slot.

You can book your spot here.
