I was going to say "well done Girls" but I realised just how patronising that sounded. Women are just as capable of towing as men are - its just a matter of mental attitude. Im male and the first time I towed I was just as nervous as you were, I imagine everyone feels the same but most men are too macho to admit it

Thanks Elaine, reminds me of when I was younger and I called my wee sister hen and she used to say ' I'm noo a chicken!' Try towing on local roads first you just need to slow down earlier, wide turns etc. I used to drive a Sedona and that was like turning a bus.

Well done I wish I had the nerve to try it. I look at the car and caravan everything looks so big. Maybe one day. Good luck with your travels

I started to tow four years ago now after we had an accident with the caravan that left my husband mentally unable to tow. So now if I want a holiday in the caravan I simply have to tow or we don't go. I can say that this year when we went to Weymouth (five hour journey) I finally felt confident enough to keep it consistently at 60mph. It has taken me four years to gain this confidence as I am in a car with three small children and a very anxious husband. It is no joke to manage! But I can do it and I will continue to take us on our hols as we love our caravan. Even though it would be nice to be a passenger again sometime! :)
