Hi Has anyone done a caravan and towing course and found it to be of benefit. While I have towed a number of caravans before they have not been an 18ft full size van so am finding towing this one a new experience.

Has anyone taken their rig to NZ? I know you can arrange a swap, but we'd prefer to take our own. Our 14 yo poodle can go too since the quarantine regulations have been relaxed. We never go anywhere without her. We wonder about the costs involved and whether we can travel with the rig rather than fly to join...
