Purple Bridge Caravan & Trailer Training; Toowoomba area, QLD

Service Location – Toowoomba + 100 kilometres

Our Trailer and Caravan Awareness Courses will ensure clients understand the legal requirements to satisfy state road legislation. Our courses provide a wealth of technical information, handy hints and advice, which, when put into practice, will help clients tow their recreational vehicle with a greater degree of confidence and safety. Towing any type of trailer involves more than attaching a towbar to your vehicle and hitching up. It adds another dimension to your driving skills and there are many considerations that should be thought through before towing.

During the course, you will learn:

• The towing capacity of your vehicle
• The type of tow bar you should fit to your vehicle and the maximum load capacity of the coupling.
• The trailer when laden and coupled to the vehicle shall not exceed any of the tow vehicle maximum ratings.
• GVM and GCM
• Coupling and un-coupling
• Reversing with a trailer
• The ATM must be specified on the trailer’s Vehicle (VIN) Plate.
• The type of trailer you are towing and whether it complies with all the laws.
• The regulations governing trailers in Australia.
• The type of equipment you may need to fit to increase the trailer’s stability when being towed.
• Whether your trailer is correctly loaded.
• The ways in which towing can affect your driving.
• The safety checks you should make prior to and during your trip.
• Includes a weighing certificate
