hi

was wondering if and where you can go to get caravan towing lessons without having to go to a towing course or school and possibly spend a grand by time you travel pay for course and accomodation and meals


also, have a ef fairmont with about 290000kms and wondered wether the 4.0 are any good at towing caravans, seen a pile of ef/el/au towing caravans all with similar km on clock, what size caravans could they tow max with a 2100-2300kg tow bar spose about 1500-2000?

for example once followings fixed
have to upgrade radiator to tripple core copper by choice and possibly buying a big auto cooler with a fan.
have to do some suspension work which will be done.
will need a new petrol pump but runs on gas
have to buy a new battery soon.
soon fixing the steel heater pipe.
power steering pumps a bit noisy but will be fixed and hose is starting to leak but again will be fixed.
transmission could probably do with a service

runs great otherwise have a couple split vacuum hoses which arent much

Trans cooler. Focus on cooling first and foremost.

If your car requires ANY suspension work or brake upgrading/repairs do that before you hook up a van.

No one I've ever met has been to "Caravan towing school". You only need to ensure your weight limits aren't exceeded(including tow ball weight), ensure your vehicle is in good order(cooling, brakes, engine and suspension). If your car is not in good order, don't tow anything. People like being alive lol

You will also need to fit a brake controller if the van has electric brakes.

Towing a caravan is all about proper weight distribution (don't put all the weight at the back of the caravan) and also about being patient. Allow good stopping distances at all times and ensure you look further ahead than your front bumper or phone screen. Drive to the conditions also as a mistake with 2t on the back is going to cost you...
