[QUOTE="Gavin Allan, post: 534868, member: 60736"] Check the hitch on the truck--make sure the bolts are all good and tight. Tighten the ball as tight as you can get it and then tighten it some more. You don't want the ball to get loose in the drawbar (don't ask me how I know this). Check and fill all fluids and tires on your truck. Check all trailer lights and signals--make sure they work properly before you leave the lot. Make them hook it up right. Drive with your lights on at all times. Check the lights frequently when you haul. Frequently check the tightness of the hitch-- make sure the trailer hitch is tight on the ball. Check the trailer tire pressure when the tires are cold. U-Haul never checks the pressure, and tires blow out frequently. You can go 70 MPH. Just take your time and get used to the "feel" of a trailer. Observe proper trailer loading (read the directions on the trailer). [/QUOTE]
