Trailer Rental Tips: Avoid The Most Common Incidents While RV’ing

Safety First! Be sure to always ask questions to ensure you have a great experience and there are no surprises while operating your trailer rental.

Tip 1: Towing Capacity of your Vehicle
Make sure your vehicle is capable of towing your trailer by checking the owner's manual or consulting your rental dealer. Make sure to account for items loaded inside it.
Tip 2: Use the Correct Hitch
Ensure your hitch is rated for the weight of the trailer and cargo and ideally surpasses these specifications. Use chains as a back-up in the event the trailer slips from the hitch.
Tip 3: Loading Properly
Weight distribution affects handling and prevents fish-tailing. Ensure 60% of the weight is loaded closest to the hitch. Make sure any large items are properly tied down.
Tip 4: Changing Lanes
Check your mirrors carefully before attempting a lane change. Small vehicles can be difficult to see in the side mirrors.
Tip 5: Inspections at each stop
Check the hitch, chains and tire pressure at each stop. Check inside to make sure everything inside is safely stowed and items which are tied down are still secure.
Tip 6: More Time to Brake
Allow yourself more time to brake by keeping eyes on the road so you can anticipate any potential hazards. Reduce overall speed and stay around 55 mph for freeway driving.
