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.
