Driving

with

a

Trailer

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

so

responsive

as your vehicle is by itself.

Before you start, check the trailer hitch

and platform, safety chains, electrical

connector, lights, 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 worling. 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 lights 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.
