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
load is secure, and that the lamps and any trailer
brakes are still working.
Following Distance
Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicle ahead as
you would when driving your vehicle without a trailer.
This can help you avoid situations that require
heavy braking and sudden turns.
Passing
You’ll need more passing distance up ahead when
you’re towing a trailer. And, because you’re a good deal
longer, you’ll need
to
go much farther beyond the
passed vehicle before you can return
to
your lane.
Backing
Up
Hold the bottom of the steering wheel with one hand.
Then,
to
move the trailer
to
the left, just move that hand
to
the left. To move the trailer to the right, move your
hand to the right. Always back up slowly and,
if
possible,
have someone guide you.
