A few guidelines to keep everyone safe and the trailer in great shape for the next adventure: Before you tow - Confirm your tow vehicle's capacity meets or exceeds the trailer's loaded weight, and that you have a properly rated hitch, ball, and sway control. - Double-check that the hitch is fully locked, safety chains are crossed, the breakaway cable is attached, and all lights (brake, turn, running) are working before pulling away. - Walk around the trailer one final time: stabilizers up, steps in, doors locked, vents closed, awning secured, propane off, and all cabinets and the fridge latched. On the road - Keep speeds at or below 65 mph — slower in wind, rain, or steep grades. The trailer tows best between 55–65. - Leave extra following distance. Braking and stopping take significantly longer with a trailer behind you. - Take wide turns. Trailers track inside your tow vehicle's path, so swing out further than feels natural. - Use lower gears on long descents to save your brakes — don't ride them down the pass. No passengers, no pets, and no riders inside the trailer while it's moving. Ever. At the campsite - Level side-to-side first using leveling blocks, then chock the wheels before unhitching. Lower stabilizers only after the trailer is level — they're for stability, not lifting. - Connect shore power, water, and sewer in that order; reverse when leaving. Spray the inside of the sewer hose clean as you ravel it back up. - Use a water pressure regulator on city water hookups (one is included). General care - No smoking or vaping inside. - Open the top vent during showers and run the range fan while cooking to manage moisture and fumes. - Don't overload outlets or run the AC and microwave simultaneously on 30-amp service. - Report any issues right away — small problems are easy fixes; ignored ones aren't. Drive safe, take your time, and enjoy the ride. Half the fun is getting there.
