(9) adjust side mirrors;
(10) check all lights on habitat and tow vehicle, ensuring that they are working properly.
(11) confirm the brakes are working properly prior to towing the habitat on a public road. You can, for example, check the
operation of the habitat brakes by pulling forward and using the AUTOWBRAKE fob or hand control of any alternate brake
controller.
(12) You may, depending on your tow vehicle or intended usage of the habitat, want to consider the use of a weight distributing
hitch and or sway bars. These distribute the tongue weight of the habitat further away from the rear and can help in vehicle
handling.
FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED BY YOUR VEHICLE'S TOW PACKAGE MANUFACTURER AND/OR
