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
Ilandling and braking
with
the added weight
of
the trailer. And always keep
in
mind that thc vehicle
you
are driving
is
now
a
good
deal longer
and
not
nearly
as
responsivs
as
your vehicle
is
by
itself.
Before you start, check thc 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 controlier by hand
to
be
sure the brakes are
working.
This
lets
you
check
your
electrical connection
at
the same time.
During \Tour trip, check occasionally to
be
sure that
the
load is secure, and
that
the’lights 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.
Bucking
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, havc someone guide
you.
