Okay so I’ve got my CLP, and I start training by an authorized trainer from the TPR in two weeks. My question is this: what all do I need? I’ve seen that I’ll probably need a gps and a good atlas. I’ve driven a manual since 16 and I plan on/have been practicing double clutching in the time leading up to the course. Any other things I should buy or practice?

I’m also working on memorizing the pre-trip inspection, and all of the book smart stuff I think I have a lot of resources for. Any other practical advice while I kill time/prepare for the course?

Thank you!
