RV 101® - 5 Tow Vehicle Checks to Make Prior to Towing a Trailer

Towing a trailer adds stress and strain on the tow vehicle. Components like the engine, transmission and rear axle run hotter when you tow a trailer. Suspension components and tires are under more stress from the additional weight, and the tow vehicle brakes work harder to slow and stop the additional weight. Therefore, it’s important to check the tow vehicle prior to towing a trailer. In this RV how to video, Mark Polk with RV Education 101 offers five tow vehicle checks you should always make before you tow a trailer.
Happy Camping,
Mark Polk

Ahhh! Missed the axle fluid and perhaps the transfer case fluid too.. 😂. Thank you for the videos, I have learned a lot from you all these years!

Mark, when you’re adding more air to the tires according to load inflation table, do you do all 4 tires or just the rear ones where the weight is?

IT'S A PITTY THAT I'M GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE MY TIRES ON MY 2017 RAM 1500 WITH ALMOST 14 THOUSAND MILES, PLENTY OF TREAD,,AND LOOK JUST FINE 99 PERCENT TOWING MY CAMPER, BUT AFTER 6 YEARS, THE TIRES CAN BE DANGEROUS, ALWAYS SOMETHING THAT COST ALOT OF MONEY
