Learn 2 Tow on the Gold Coast

A bit of fun from yesterday with Archie! 😂🚐

Archie is a young bloke starting a new job where he’ll need to reverse trailers into job sites, so we spent 3 hours covering a bit of everything he’ll need to know.

We started with the basics — hooking up safely, checking the trailer is level, loading correctly, and even a quick run-through of tying things down with straps and ropes.

Then it was time to get behind the wheel… 👊

✅ Straight-line reversing
✅ Reversing around bends
✅ Using markers to prevent jackknifing
✅ Understanding the limits of the vehicle and trailer
✅ Getting out of tight spots
✅ Three-point turns in a cul-de-sac
✅ U-turns at intersections
✅ Understanding how much road width you actually need
✅ And even a bit of “one day you might have a jet ski” practice around a boat ramp! 😂

One thing we really focused on was the jackknife point. When you're learning to reverse a trailer, setting a clear reference point can help you know when to stop before you get too far and potentially damage the vehicle or trailer.

We also took it out on the road and worked through some real-world situations rather than just practising in an empty car park.

Archie was a great student, keen to learn and willing to give everything a go.

And of course… we had to make a little stupid video along the way! 😂

Great day, great kid, and hopefully a few less stressful moments when he starts the new job. 💪🚐
