Course Guide
Combined Excavator and Skid Steer
Caravan Towing
Adrian, our trainer was fantastic. He was patient and explained every aspect of towing, including basic caravan tips. At the conclusion of our course we were able to back our caravan into our narrow drive way – that was a win!
Adrian also went above and beyond, as we did not have towing mirrors fitted, so while on our road driving section of the training, he rang ahead and ordered clip on mirrors for us & fitted them as well.
Recommend this course to all drivers of Vans.
I had a positive experience with COVE
Peter was a great instructor and was able to guide me in some driving tips as well as how to drive a semi safely
