RV road trips can be big fun but safety guidelines must be in place so that your getaways are safe and secure. Knowing the proper way to attach your trailers can make the difference in life threatening situations. This article highlights great safety procedures to help keep you and your family safe this summer.
People who tow trailers share the same safety concerns as other RV drivers. However, a tow vehicle and a trailer form an articulated (hinged) vehicle which presents an additional set of concerns. The weight considerations described on pages 30 and 31 are very important to safe towing. The tow vehicle must be a proper match for the trailer. If the trailer is properly equipped, it can perform safely under a variety of driving conditions. The tow vehicle should also have enough power to climb mountain grades without excessive loss of speed.
