While the Camping and Caravan Club is well known for its campsites, there are a wide range of other offerings members and non-members can take advantage of.
For example, the Club runs caravan and motorhome manoeuvring courses throughout the year to help leisure vehicle owners become more confident.
Between February and September, there are 15 courses taking place at the Club’s headquarters in Coventry.
Whether you’re experienced at towing a caravan or new to driving a motorhome, there are courses pitched at different levels and to improve a variety of skills.

Fliss Spink, lead instructor, said: “Club courses help hundreds of people every year to brush up their knowledge and boost their confidence so they can go away with the skills they need.
“The courses are designed with real life situations in mind and there are practical exercises to take part in – there’s a bit of time spent in the classroom, but time is also dedicated to one-on-one learning with our friendly and helpful instructors.”
