If it continues when you accelerate again, check to see how the weight is distributed and adjust accordingly. 3) Lights Connect brakes and signal lights. Double check to make sure the trailer’s brakes, turn signals and tail lights are synchronized with those of the tow vehicle. 4) Tires Avoid hauling too much weight for the tires. Blowouts can be bad news. Be... [Read more...]
