Knowing How to Tow a Caravan Safely is Critical!

Knowing How to Tow a Caravan Safely is Critical!

Caravans are expensive and caring for your investment includes knowing how to safely load, tow, reverse, and park your caravan.

My courses include everything you need to be able to tow your caravan on major and minor roads safely. I also cover complex reversing manoeuvres which can catch out unaware drivers.

Do I need a licence to tow a caravan?

The following announcement was made by the DVLA on 16th December 2021:

If you passed your car driving test from 1 January 1997, you’re now allowed to tow trailers up to 3,500kg MAM.

DVLA will update your driving licence record to show that you’re allowed to tow trailers. You’ll get category BE added to your driving licence when you get a new photocard driving licence.

Do not need to contact DVLA for this to happen. It will be done automatically. If you passed your car driving test before 1 January 1997, you are not affected by the change.

Driving a car and trailer for the first time: It’s best to take training from a driving instructor if you want to start driving a car and trailer.

What's included?

I supply the vehicle and a caravan. My vehicle is a Toyota Invincible with a reverse camera to assist with coupling and uncoupling, and I have a choice of twin or single axle caravans.
