Caravan and Motorhome Club Opens a New Training Facility in Kent
The Caravan and Motorhome Club has expanded its national network of driver training locations with the opening of a new centre in Sandwich, Kent. The facility, run by Kent Training, is set to begin offering courses from 14 August 2025, with the initial course being the popular "Caravan Towing Course."
The Caravan Towing Course is designed to help leisure vehicle owners, whether beginners or experienced drivers, gain confidence in towing. The comprehensive course covers topics such as reversing a caravan, towing techniques, hitching up a caravan, unhitching, safety checks, legal briefings, weight distribution, and loading tips.
The Caravan Manoeuvring course, another offering at the training centre, lasts one day and costs £188. Completing any course at the Caravan and Motorhome Club training centre results in receiving the Essential Guide to Touring (worth £16) for free.
The Club's training courses cater to all levels and are suitable for those towing not just caravans but also boats, horseboxes, and other trailers. With positive reviews, almost 80% of participants rating them 9 out of 10 or higher, these courses are a valuable resource for caravanners looking to improve their towing abilities.
Joanna Davies, a Staff Writer for Practical Motorhome and the website, joined the team in March 2022. Davies, who converted a 2009 Renault Grand Scenic into a micro-camper, is well-versed in the world of caravanning. Her role involves writing travel features, campsite round-ups, and sourcing gear recommendations.
Meanwhile, the Camping and Caravanning Club has announced it will "pause" its attendance at the October NEC Show this year. In response, the NEC Show organisers have wished them every success with their anniversary celebrations.
