    Not hard at all, but you need to remember that its there!
    Think about tail swing, the fact that you need to keep wider on sharp turns, how to load it to prevent "snaking" and to drive slower.
    Take a lesson with a driving school that does the trailer training.

    You'll pick it up fairly handy and once you're up to speed on a motorway etc you don't notice it too much. Can be a pain on narrow winding roads or trying to reverse it into your driveway with traffic waiting...

    Have a towing lesson, will be the best option.
    I have gone over to the camping and caravan show in the NEC bermingham with my wife a couple of times and booked in for the free Lesson, just need to have a full driving licence, they give great instruction. Its a cheap night away too if you stay over night. https://www.thenec.co.uk/whats-on/motorhome-and-caravan-show/
