Trailer Towing Tips
- Check bolts, fasteners, hitch, tires, lights and brakes prior to towing
- Tires should be carefully inspected, especially after long storage. Dry rot is the #1 failure mode for trailer tires
- Before connecting, check the hitch components to be sure they match, and be sure the hitch is then securely connected
- Ensure the load is distributed evenly on the trailer for stability reasons
- Do not overload the trailer, stay within proper capacity limits
o For stability, the trailer should be loaded with 10%-20% of the gross trailer weight on the tongue
- Allow added distance for acceleration and braking
- Allow more girth around corners, take them wide
