Has anyone taken the House Trailer Endorsement for your class 5 drivers license in BC? I'm wondering what the road test consists of.........

like a driving test. you pull in and park your truck and trailer where they tell you. then you get so long to do a pretrip inspection (I think it was 25 or 30 min) then you just go for a drive. they will have some route that they go on, if you have been towong for a while and dont run over curbs and such the driving part will be the easy part. the pretrip is the one that gets most people as they took a comercial pretrip and based it off that.

Thanks Steve. This is what I'm looking for.

I have years and many miles of seat time towing a travel trailer, but none with a 5er. When I get on the road soon, I have a buddy with a class one to baby sit me. Shouldn't take much to get used to it.

For the pretrip, were you allowed to have a checklist when you did yours? Most of it is common sense, I guess, but its easy to overlook a detail.
