Caravan Training With David Griffin

Caravan Training with David Griffin is a specialist provider of professional Caravan Towing & Safety Training Courses, designed to give caravanners the skills and confidence they need to tow safely and enjoyably. Led by David Griffin—widely known as Trailer Dave—the company prides itself on delivering personalised, one-to-one tuition using real caravans, not lightweight trailers. As a Grade A qualified driving instructor and passionate caravanner, David offers expert guidance backed by years of hands-on experience and a commitment to exceptional value for money.

We are able to cover Somerset, Devon and most of the South West.

Understanding that there is far more to caravanning than simply towing, Caravan Training with David Griffin provides comprehensive, bespoke courses tailored to each customer’s needs. Training covers essential skills such as safe loading, towing techniques on major and minor roads, reversing, manoeuvring, parking, and levelling. Courses run year-round, and a convenient mobile training service means many sessions can be delivered directly from a customer’s home. When availability allows, short-notice bookings can also be accommodated.

A range of structured training options ensures that drivers of all experience levels receive the right level of tuition. The Half Day Training Course (£230) is ideal for those with previous towing experience who want to refresh their skills. It focuses on road safety, reversing, parking, and levelling, with an optional additional driver for a small extra cost. This course excludes motorway or dual-carriageway driving.

For newcomers, the Full Day Training Course (£295) offers a complete introduction to caravan towing, covering practical driving, caravan safety, and UK towing laws. A Condensed Caravan Training Course (£260) provides a streamlined full-day option covering the same core areas for those who prefer a shorter format.

Drivers seeking the most comprehensive instruction can choose the 1 or 2 Day Extended Course (£375 or £445). This in-depth programme includes advanced practical training, detailed safety guidance, legal requirements, and use of a twin-axle caravan equipped with a dash camera as standard.

For an additional person training it is an extra £35.

All courses include a certificate upon completion and can be undertaken on a one-to-one basis or with an additional driver for a modest supplementary fee. Caravan Training with David Griffin is dedicated to helping every caravanner travel with confidence, competence, and complete peace of mind.
