What about the large boxes that go on the tow bar, think they are made by Thule, may be a better option as in my view the small trailers are not great especially for long motorway journeys MY17 D5 1st Edition Namib Orange
MY15 D4 HSE Kaikoura Stone
MY12 D4 HSE Nara Bronze Sold and gone
MY11 D4 HSE Stornaway Grey Sold and gone
D3 S spec Silver Sold and gone
Tow bar, full length roof bars, side steps, tow bar storage unit, surround camers.

caravan club do a 10 hour course for about £170 and they supply the van you supply vehicle with tow bar and electrics, might be worth considering they also do advanced courses

I help train all over southwest from b+e (car and trailer) to c+e (artic trailer) let me know what area i can let you have some information and details of company's 
The test is approx 1 hour 5 show and tell questions an uncouple and re couple of trailer and reversing exercise then a drive for approx 50 min with a dvsa examiner , marks are the same as a driving test.
As said near start of thread the on road driving normally lets most people down.
I help out company's that have there own accredited sites , but you can use a dvsa approved center (normally a vosa now dvsa test center ).
You could use your own vehicle but the trailer has to meet certain requirements (ie loaded ) with vehicle meeting certain standards as well.
Test fee £115 then training costs approx another £300 -£400 depending on area.
With any company look at the instructors see if they have any ADI or LGV register badges. "Its as convincing as a Giraffe with sunglass trying to get into a Polarbears only golf club "
