Overtaking and Passing
When you pass another vehicle, remember that it takes
longer to accelerate and you must allow for the length of
the trailer to pass as well, before returning to your lane.
Use your signals freely. On freeways and expressways,
try to pick the lane in which you want to move and stay
in it, preferably the slow lane to the right. Remember,
always pass very carefully.
Slippery Pavement
On slippery and icy pavement, drive slowly, and if you
feel you are skidding, gently apply the trailer brakes only.
Backing and Parking
After arriving at your destination, your next task is to
choose a good level parking space and back into it. A
recommended procedure for backing into a space is:
Stop near the site, get out and look it over. (Check the
site for low hanging tree limbs, posts, large rocks, etc.,
which are to be avoided.)
Always try to place the site to your left. This way you
can see what the trailer is doing while you are backing.
If the site is on your right, you will be backing onto your
blind side, which is more difficult.
With everything clear, maneuver the vehicle into position
for backing into the site.
Now grasp the steering wheel at the bottom (never at
the top) and back up. Turn the steering wheel in the
direction you wish the vehicle to go. If the site is on
your left, move your hand to the left and back slowly,
watching the vehicle. When the vehicle starts into the
turn, follow it by easing up on the steering wheel. The
vehicle will move into position.
Once in site, pull vehicle forward & back again to prevent
trailer from maintaining a binded position which can
damage the trailer and components.
