CC Practical Caravanning Course
This story happened on: 06/11/2012
Good evening all,
i thought i would take a few minutes to give a short update on my experience at the CC Towing Course. As a complete novice, i thought it prudent to arm myself with at least some guidance on towing and thought the CC would a good place to seek out that guidance. And how right i was. I attended the "Practical Caravanning" course at Appletree near Banbury, as opposed to the "Maneouvering" course recommended for experienced towers. The course managed to balance the classroom based learning on the legal and technical aspects of towing, with ample practical guidance and practice in a completely safe environment. The course tutor was incredibly patient and extremely knowledgeable. Things like caravan levelling, checking and tightening the caravan wheel bolts and a summary of a caravan braking system were all useful learning i hadn't expected. The only part that was missing for me was some "on road" tuition, but i appreciate the time constraints and insurance burden would probably make that difficult to include. In summary, i would happily recommend the course to any beginner or novice tower.
