Love the idea of a hitching the van and heading off for the weekend but a bit nervous about towing?
The RACQ Mobility Centre at Mount Cotton runs driver trainer programs, including caravan towing courses.
You’ll get a heap of tips on how to load and hitch correctly. Along with vital advice like checking your van and vehicle are weight compliant.
They have a state-of-the-art track on site where you can test the skills you’ll learn like braking, turning and distancing.
RACQ’s driving expert Keith Cassidy advises doing a test run with you van and vehicle after you’ve had the proper training, somewhere close to home.
