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 as
responsive as your vehicle is by itself.
Before you start, check
the
trailer hitch and platform
(and attachments), safety chains, electrical connector,
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.
