Caravan Towing Training

Caravan towing driving lesson at Tilston Training in Wrexham

We are the only Caravan & Motorhome Club training centre in North Wales and the surrounding areas.

We have been running their courses here for over 12 years now.

If the Caravan Club can trust us with training their valued Club members then we are sure you can trust us too!

Due to the Governments decision to scrap the B+E Car & Trailer test as of the 20th September 2021, Tilston Training are now offering shorter courses to ensure you are safe and confident in the art of towing caravans.

Towing trailers/caravans up to a max weight of 3,500 kgs can be very dangerous if the driver is not correctly trained. Although the Government have relaxed the rules on towing trailers and caravans they are encouraging and advising people to take up training by qualified instructors. We still take the art of towing a trailer or caravan very seriously here at Tilston Training.

We will still train you to the very high standards as if you needed to pass a test. The lucky thing now is you do not have the pressure of an actual test at the end of it.

You will be issued with an attendance certificate at the end of the course signed off by one of our grade A DVSA Approved Instructors.

So whether you need to tow a trailer or caravan for the first time, or if you just require a little additional training to give you a little more confidence when you’re towing, then we have a training course that will suit you.

As you will see by all our 5 star reviews our instructors are friendly, patient and very knowledgeable. All the training is overseen by fully qualified, CRB checked and registered grade A DVSA Approved Driving Instructors. In addition, they have years of experience in towing trailers and caravans. We’re based in Llay, Wrexham provide trailer and caravan towing training across Wrexham, Mold, Deeside, Cheshire, Shropshire, Flint, Holywell, Denbigh, Warrington and the surrounding areas.

We now have our own DVSA approved customer test centre open so you will be trained as if you were on test in a perfect off road facility and not in a public car park somewhere.

We are based between Wrexham and Chester in Llay. See the map on our contact page for more details.
