• Securely attach the tow bar, safety chains, and other necessary parts to the trailer.
• Securely store all the items in and on the trailer so that they do not shift while
driving.
• Check if the lights and brakes on the trailer are working properly.
• Check the pressures of the trailer tyres, including the spare.
• Check regulations concerning the maximum speed or driving restrictions for
vehicles towing trailers. If you are driving across several countries, check each
