New Training Facility Unveiled by Caravan and Motorhome Club in Kent
The Caravan and Motorhome Club has recently opened a new caravan towing training centre at their facility in Sandwich, Kent. This centre is the latest addition to the Club's national training network, now boasting 18 locations across the country [1][2].
The new training centre, run by Kent Training, aims to help leisure vehicle owners improve their towing and manoeuvring skills. The centre offers practical courses designed to enhance caravan towing competence, providing confidence whether you are new to towing or have years of experience.
Each course provided by the Club offers hands-on experience and practical advice on topics like reversing a caravan, towing techniques, hitching up a caravan, safety checks, legal briefings, weight distribution, and loading tips.
The Caravan Towing Course at the Sandwich centre lasts for one day and costs £188 [3]. Completing a course at the Caravan and Motorhome Club training centre grants a free Essential Guide to Touring (worth £16) [4].
The Club's training courses cater to all levels and are suitable for caravan, motorhome, boat, horsebox, and other trailer owners [5]. The Club's training programmes have over 40 years of experience and have had more than 56,000 participants to date [6]. Nearly 80% of learners rate the courses 9 out of 10 or higher [7].
The Caravan and Motorhome Club members receive a 5% discount on caravan cover, motorhome insurance, and car insurance [8]. The Club's training courses are not exclusive to members, but the discount is an added benefit for those who are.
The Club's decision to pause attendance at the October NEC Show this year has been met with a positive response from the Show organisers, who wish the Club success with their anniversary celebrations [9].
Joanna Davies, a new Staff Writer for Practical Motorhome and the website, joined the team in March 2022. Her role involves writing travel features, campsite round-ups, and sourcing gear recommendations [10]. Interestingly, Joanna Davies herself is a caravanner, having converted a 2009 Renault Grand Scenic into a micro-camper [11].
