WARNING

should provide your hitch rating information.
Towing Tips and Information
Off-Road Towing
When driving in mud and sand, let the momentum
carry the rig through. Apply power gently and use
as little as possible. Stay in the tracks of the vehicle
ahead and keep the tow vehicle in the highest
possible gear. If you get stuck, it is best to tow out
the entire rig together without unhitching.
When Being Passed
Despite the best hitch, you will notice that
whenever a large bus or truck overtakes your rig,
the displaced air first pushes the trailer rear slightly
to the right and then affects the front. It may be
necessary to steer very slightly, momentarily,
toward the bus or truck to help compensate for the
sway induced by the passing vehicle. Do not apply
the vehicle brakes, as this can tend to exaggerate the
situation. You may find, however, that briefly
applying the trailer brakes with your manual control
will help eliminate sway.
On a two-lane road, cars may line up behind you
because you travel at a lower speed. It is both
courteous and sensible, if you are able, to signal,
pull onto the shoulder, and let them pass. Your
trailer is designed to be towed easily at any legal
speed, so if you are not careful, you may be inclined
to forget it is there.
Passing
On freeways or expressways, pick the lane you
want and try to stay in it. Always maintain plenty of
space between you and the car ahead, at least the
length of the tow vehicle plus trailer, for every ten
miles per hour. Remember that to pass another
vehicle you will need longer to accelerate. You
must also allow for the length of the trailer when
returning to the right-hand lane.
Backing Up
When backing up, the important thing to remember
is to do everything slowly and to correct
immediately if you see the trailer turning the wrong
way. Concentrate on the rear of the trailer. With
your tow vehicle and trailer in a straight line, back
up slowly and turn the bottom of the steering wheel
in the direction you want the trailer to go. Watch
out the window or in the mirror until the rear of the
trailer is pointing in the desired direction. Your tow
vehicle will be following the trailer in an arc.
Straighten the tow vehicle and trailer by turning the
steering wheel more sharply, and then, when they
are in line, straighten the steering wheel.
Always try to back to your left because the visibility
is much better. When you don’t make it on the first
try, it is usually much easier to pull forward to your
original position and start over, or at least pull
forward until the rig is straight, and then start
backing.
