Best 6 hours you could spend as an introduction to caravaning
Adrian was fantastic and very knowledgeable. He took us through hitching, caravan setup and of course towing. Lots of tips on extra things to get to help with setting yourself up. The towing with him through suburbia really gave us confidence. He also tweaked settings in the car to make the towing experience better. Lastly after he had finished he came with us in his own time to CARAC to check on our tow hitch.
