The Caravan and Motorhome Club Opens New Training Centre in Sandwich, Kent
The Caravan and Motorhome Club is set to open a new training centre in Sandwich, Kent, as part of their growing national network. The centre, run by Kent Training, will commence operations from 14th August 2025.
This state-of-the-art facility is designed to help leisure vehicle owners gain confidence behind the wheel, whether they are beginners or experienced drivers. The courses offered at the Sandwich centre cater to all levels and are suitable for caravan, motorhome, boat, horsebox, and other trailer owners.
The initial course offered will be the popular Caravan Towing course. This hands-on experience provides practical advice on reversing, hitching, towing, safety checks, legal issues, weight distribution, and loading. For those seeking a more comprehensive learning experience, the Caravan Manoeuvring Course, a full-day event, covers hitching, towing, parking techniques, and safety in detail.
The courses are delivered by seasoned Club members who offer hands-on experience and practical advice. These experts have decades of training expertise and are committed to helping caravanners improve their towing and manoeuvring skills.
Pricing for the Sandwich courses has not been detailed in the publicly available information as of August 2025. However, pricing tends to vary by course length and location; contacting the Kent Training centre directly or the Caravan and Motorhome Club for precise fee details is recommended.
It's worth noting that Club members receive a 5% discount on caravan cover, motorhome insurance, and car insurance. Additionally, completing any course at the Caravan and Motorhome Club's training center grants a free Essential Guide to Touring (worth £16).
The Club's training courses have received positive reviews, with nearly 80% of participants rating them 9 out of 10 or higher. Joanna Davies, a Staff Writer for Practical Motorhome and the website, joined the team in March 2022 and has been instrumental in providing travel features, campsite round-ups, and gear recommendations.
