Before you start, check all trailer hitch parts and

attachments, safety chains, electrical connection, 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.
