RAC encourages West Australians to travel safely and is offering free tow safety sessions to prepare you for your next trip.

What to expect

This session is designed for caravan beginners or those wanting to freshen up on their towing skills. During these two hour sessions with a professional instructor, the following topics will be covered:

  • How to safely reverse your caravan
  • How to check your tyres
  • Understanding vehicle weights
  • Other useful tips

Plus, you'll get the chance to practice what you've learnt during a hands-on component where each participant will get the opportunity to reverse a caravan under the guidance of our instructors.

Upcoming sessions

Bookings are essential

Sessions go for 2 hours — starting at 8am, 10.30am, and 1pm.

Our instructors will have a set up available to use for demonstrations so it is not a requirement for you to bring your caravan. However, we still welcome attendees that would like to bring their own vehicle and/or caravan to use during the session and take advantage of the opportunity to practice reversing in a closed and safe environment.

Tow Safe Advanced

Once you complete a Tow Safe workshop, you will be eligible to participate in our Tow Safe Advanced course.

This course is designed to enhance your knowledge and further explore topics to keep you and other road users safe. Facilitated by caravan experts at Driver Risk Management, each workshop runs for 4 hours, consisting of 1.5 hours of theory and 2.5 hours of practical training with your own caravan.

Information on how to register will be provided at our Tow Safe workshops.

Please contact programs@rac.com.au for any further queries.
