Tourers get more choice of driving courses in 2024 with the Caravan and Motorhome Club

The Caravan and Motorhome Club has announced more availability in 2024 across its 18 driving course venues in the UK for caravanners, motorhomers and campervanners. Run by expert trainers the courses are for both beginners and those who would like to gain more confidence and perfect their manoeuvring skills.

Whether a seasoned tourer or new to caravanning, motorhoming and campervanning, participants will be able to choose from three courses to help make holiday adventures on the open road safe and comfortable.

The 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. 

In 2024, interested tourers can find more courses at centres in Grangemouth, York (two centres), Boston, Sheffield, Edgmond, Eaglescliffe, Nottingham, Plumpton, South Ockendon, Lancaster, Winchester, Macclesfield, Figheldean, Dumfries in Scotland, Llanelli and Wrexham in Wales and in Portadown, Northern Ireland.

Harvey Alexander, director of marketing and membership services at the Caravan and Motorhome Club said: “We are delighted to offer more choice of driving courses in 2024 for new and old tourers alike, enabling them with the skills to travel safely while making the most of the great outdoors.

“Touring holidays are more popular than ever and by offering more course availability this year, course participants will have more flexibility to take a course of their choice at a time when it suits them, in order to learn or refresh their manoeuvring skills.”

The Club has over 40 years of experience running these courses, with each course led by friendly, expert trainers with first-hand experience, who are members and well-seasoned tourers themselves. Courses are open to both Club members and non-members.
