Towing an RV for the first time? 🚚💨

Whether you’re hauling a travel trailer or a fifth wheel, proper towing setup is the difference between a smooth ride and a total nightmare.

If you don’t take the time to set up correctly, you could face dangerous trailer sway, braking issues, or even a roadside disaster. Let’s make sure you’re ready to hit the road safely and confidently!

✅ Start with the Right Hitch – Your hitch setup isn’t one-size-fits-all. A weight distribution hitch and sway control can drastically improve stability, making your drive safer and reducing that dreaded trailer sway.

✅ Understand Weight Limits – Every vehicle and trailer has limits. You need to know your Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR), and Tongue Weight. Exceeding these can put stress on your tow vehicle and compromise your ability to brake effectively.

✅ Brake Controller Setup – A properly adjusted trailer brake controller helps manage braking force between your tow vehicle and trailer, preventing dangerous jackknifing situations. Don’t skip this step!

✅ Check All Connections Before Driving – Before you pull out of the driveway or campsite, double-check your hitch, safety chains, electrical connections, and breakaway cable. A loose connection could mean the difference between a smooth trip and an emergency stop.

✅ Practice, Practice, Practice! – Towing is an entirely different experience than regular driving. Take your rig to an empty parking lot and practice wide turns, reversing, and braking distances before taking it on the highway.

Don’t let towing intimidate you—mastering these steps will make your RV adventures safer and more enjoyable!
