caravan towing test, B+E car and trailer towing test
Not everyone needs to pass a caravan towing test. It depends on when you passed your test. It can also depend on the weight of your vehicle and your choice of a caravan.
Do you want to know about the B+E trailer test, then we can help you all the way. Generally, if you passed your driving test before 1st January 1997, then you can tow most caravans on a B+E driving licence. The way to find out is to check the back on your photo card licence for the following;
In column 9 you are looking for category B+E, which means you can tow a trailer up to 3,500kg.
Look in column 10 you will see the day you gained the entitlement, which should be before 1st January 1997, if you have the entitlement.
And in column 11 the year your entitlement runs out.
If these are there, then you have a B+E trailer entitlement.

At Get Towing trailer training, we like to help our clients pass their BE trailer test first time and give plenty of trailer test tips.

The caravan club advises that the trailer or caravan behind should not be higher than 85% of the kerbweight of the tow car. You can look in your handbook or on the internet, as to what your vehicle can tow. The other place to look is a chassis plate, which is usually inside the engine bay or door pillar.
