Towing
When towing your trailer you need to recognize the extra weight
behind your vehicle. Below is a list of things you need to remember
while traveling.
1. With trailer attached you will have slower acceleration and will
require more distance to stop.
2. Be sure you have enough area at corners when turning, as
wider turns are necessary. Be sure to use your turn signals for
your own safety and the safety of others.
3. In passing or changing lanes remember you will need a longer
distance to pass.
4. Use your rear view mirrors frequently to observe your trailer and
traffic conditions.
5. When being passed by a large truck or bus, be prepared for
displaced air as it may cause you to sway slightly, especially
travel trailers.
6. When climbing steep long grades and again while descending,
use lower gears even before it seems necessary. Use your
brakes smoothly and evenly.
NO SMOKING, BEFORE DISPENSING FUEL, TURN OFF ALL
ENGINES, FUEL-BURNING APPLIANCES, AND THEIR IGNI-
TORS. DO NOT DISPENSE FUEL WITHIN 20 FEET OF AN IG-
NITION SOURCE.
FAILURE TO, COMPLY COULD RESULT IN FIRE, DEATH
