.Driving with a Trailer
i s -
Towing a trailer requires a certain amount of experience. Before setting
out for the open road, you'll want to get to know your rig. Acquaint
yourself with the feel of handling.and braking with the added weight of
the trailer. And always keep in mind that the vehicle you are driving is
now a good deal longer and not nearly as responsive as your vehicle is
by
itself.

Before you start, check the trailer hitch and platform (and.attachments),
safety chains, electrical connector, lamps, tires and mirror adjustment. If
the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving and
-
then apply the trailer brake controller by hand to be sure the brakes are
working. This lets you check your electrical connection at the same time.
During your.trip, check occasionally to be sure that the 1o.d.is secure, and
that the lamps and any trailer brakes are still working.
