if the weights are proper. If they aren’t,

you

may be able to

get them right simply by moving some items around in the trailer.

Hitches

It’s important

have the correct hitch equipment. Crosswinds, large trucKs

going

by, and rough roads are a few reasons why you’ll need the right hitch.

Here are some rules

follow:

use

a step bumper hitch, and your trailer tongue

has

V-shaped

foot, your bumper could be damaged

sharp turns. Check

the

distance

from the front edge of

the

foot to the middle of the hitch ball socket.

the

distance is less than

inches, take the foot

off

the trailer tongue.

you’ll

be pulling a trailer with

utility model that, when loaded, will

weigh more than

3,000 pounds

361 kg); or with a wagon model that,

when loaded, will weigh more than

4000

pounds

800

kg), be sure to

use

properly mounted, weight-distributing hitch and sway control

the proper size. This equipment

very important for proper vehicle

loading and good handling when you’re driving.

Will you

have

make any

holes

the body of your vehicle when you

install a trailer hitch? If

you

do,

then be sure to seal the holes later

when

you

remove the hitch. If you don’t seal them, deadly carbon

monoxide

(CO)

from your exhaust can get into your vehicle (see

“Carbon Monoxide”

the Index). Dirt and water can, too.

Safety Chains

You

should always attach chains between your vehicle and your trailer.

Cross the safety chains under

the

tongue of the trailer

not

drop to the road

becomes separated from the

hitch.

Instructions

about safety chains may be provided by

the hitch manufacturer or by the

trailer manufacturer. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation for

attaching safety chains. Always leave

just

enough slack

you can turn with

your rig. And, never allow safety chains to drag on the ground.
