Safe caravan operation for the road

A Low Risk driving approach when operating a recreational vehicle works in co-operation with the Drive & maneuver towing course.

Illr ride with you 4

In conjunction with the Tow-Ed full accredited towing courses, The I’ll ride with you session has been derived for persons who are new to or just nervous about towing a trailer, especially a caravan and even a large caravan.

This service has come about from feedback and questions out of my towing courses and from industry show presentations. Many people are nervous about towing their caravan on the road for the first time. It also quite common for a person to not want to drive or tow their caravan for the first time with their current partners beside them.

Myself as a qualified driving trainer in Low Risk (RIIVEH201E) and Tow a Recreational Vehicle Safely (MSMRV392), will accompany you as the driver, towing your trailer (caravan) on the road for possibly the first time.

Not only have I been trained in this area of expertise, I myself own multiple different trailers from the small box trailers up to a 5th wheel caravan. I also represent the caravanning industry (CTIAQ) by acting in a role as presenter with 3 other industry knowledgeable persons known as “VANSafe”.

The service will be time based and charge per the hour for one or two drivers with a minimum of four (4) hours, up to a possible (6) six hours (one full day) depending on what type of driving experience you wish to encounter. We can start from your home address and when booked I will study your area in readiness for the drive.

Example drives could be as a complete drive would consist of all road scenarios, and I have derived three good options of approximately 4-6 hours return. All speeds from 60 to 100klm per hour, city and country road experiences with single and multiple lanes.

West of Brisbane and include two different range style drives, city and country road from Esk to Toowoomba via Hampton and Toowoomba ranges.

South side of Brisbane driving to Ballina and return on Pacific highway which also includes ascending and descending roads.

Northside could include out through Caboolture, Woodford up to the Beerwah return including range driving.

The first hour will include, safety checks for the road of your combination including items like, *correct operation of all lights, *electric brakes, *required mirrors and settings, *security of all items loaded, *tyre pressures including a wheel mass measurement for this calculation of the tyre pressure.

We know that every aspect of the towing vehicle changes as soon as a trailer is attached, so the driving session is all about building knowledge and confidence for you as a driver and that you are able to safely conduct yourself as a driver in these conditions and make safe for all road users.
