When we first bought the trailer, we were total NEWBS (newbies) – and we still are. But with time comes experience, and we are finally starting to get the hang of this whole trailer thing. Trust me, we still totally panic when something unexpected happens (like when, ummm, my blow dryer made the power go out during a 100+ degree day with company coming??) – but at least the routine things are getting a little more routine and a lot less stressful. I’m not sure I’ll ever be totally comfortable going 70 mph down a big mountain pulling a 4000+ pound tin can behind us… but it’s getting better every trip!
If you are new to the trailer thing too – or just wonder how this whole thing works – welcome to our first Trailer 101 video: Hitching Up The Trailer. In order to use a trailer, you have to learn to connect it to your vehicle. But it isn’t quite as easy as just backing up the trailer hitch and hitting the gas pedal. For example – what in the world are sway bars and what do they do? Can you run the fridge while you are pulling the trailer? Does the trailer have its own brakes?? For answers to these questions and more – watch this!
