An unbalanced trailer is a recipe for "sway," which can lead to loss of control.
Never leave home without a spare tire specifically for the trailer.
When attaching your safety chains, don't just hook them straight across. Create an "X" under the trailer tongue.
Towing a trailer for the first time can feel like you’re trying to pilot a small ship on a crowded highway. Whether you are hauling a boat to the lake, a camper to the mountains, or a flatbed for a DIY project, safety and preparation are your best friends.
