Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to safely manoeuvre and tow a recreational vehicle along public and private roads.
The unit applies to a person working in a recreational vehicle manufacturing or service and repair facility who undertakes routine tasks according to job instructions, plans/specifications and procedures and uses discretion and judgement in selecting equipment, services and contingency measures. They work with a high degree of self-direction and limited supervision. They apply known solutions to routine problems and report non-routine problems according to procedures. They are responsible for their output and have limited responsibility for the output of others.
This unit assumes the driver has a current Australian driver licence. Drivers must comply with the licence requirements and regulations of the relevant state/territory roads and traffic authority. The type of vehicle the person drives must be allowed under their driver licence.

  • 1.1 Determine the gross weight of the recreational vehicle and determine its aggregate mass
  • 1.3 Check and adhere to the tow-bar capacity of the towing vehicle
  • 1.4 Confirm the weight ratio of the recreational and towing vehicle is safe according to state/territory requirements and regulations

2.

  • 2.1 Identify towing requirements from job instructions
  • 2.3 Rectify any identified minor deficiencies and report complex deficiencies to the workplace supervisor and confirm the next steps according to workplace procedures
