Whether you’re a newbie or an experienced hand, you can get advice on anything from travel, safety, insurance, security, accessories and maintenance.

Visitors can learn how to tow a trailer or caravan safely as, in conjunction with the Camping and Caravanning Club, the show offers free on-to-one towing experiences with guidance from expert instructors, plus free motorhome driving tuition with three motorhomes and three expert course instructors. This is the perfect opportunity for beginners looking to learn the ropes, but also for experienced drivers who want to learn a few extra skills and tips.
