HOOKING CHECKLIST
• Receiver installed and safety pin in place
• Trailer at right height to hook up before backing under
• Hitch lock is open
• Vehicle hitch is in line with trailer hitch
BACK UNDER TRAILER
• Go slowly when backing
• Open windows and hatchback and back from driver's side for better line of sight
• Use a spotter when available, otherwise get out & look, ensuring that you secure the vehicle every time.
HOOKING THE TRAILER
• Lower the trailer onto ball assembly
• Lock the hitch
• Check trailer is locked on ball hitch by raising the jack - back of the vehicle should raise
• Raise & stow jack
• Fasten the safety chains, crisscrossing these underneath to form a cradle
• Hook electrical connection
PRE-TRIP INSPECTION
• Check all lights (signals, brakes, licence, clearance and parking)
• Valid registration & insurance
• Remove wheel chocks (blocks) & ensure tires are properly inflated
• Campers -- ensure large, heavy items are on or near the floor - door locked & secure
• Utility - 60% of the load in the front of the trailer. Load is tied and tarped (if required)
WITHIN 1 MILE (KILOMETRE)
• Quick walk around
• Recheck trailer connection
• Check tires, tailgates | doors & lights
• Check load security
When parking or fuelling, watch for overhead clearances. And always park away from main traffic areas because a trailer will demand 2 parking spaces.

A trick : you can watch movies at flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Devon Nelson definitely, I have been watching on Flixzone for since november myself :D
Lol, it's a good thing your mom was there helping! Say "Hi" for me.
One of my favourite tricks for backing up to a trailer when alone is to have a broom stick leaning against and standing up right next to tongue of the trailer. It gives me something to aim for and is great for a better sense of depth. In fact, if the ball of the hitch touches it you know you are right there, and the stick will just fall over out of the way.
Hi Tim Davis - thank you for your comment. I have said hi to Mom for you. Thank you for that great tip when backing up to the trailer by yourself. I will implement that, as I'm usually alone when I hook up to the trailer. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
I watched this video to learn how to hook up a trailer for the first time. It was just what I needed! Thanks!
Thank you so much for the education. My Dad always towed, but never taught me how to do the hook up. Now I need to tow a U-Haul trailer in March 2023 and you taught me a lot. Thank you again.
It won't be a big trailer, medium size to travel through 2 states and large mountain ranges.
Wish me luck!

This video is super helpful! I’m buying my first travel trailer this week and needed to know the process of using the hitch for towing. Thanks for the instructions!
I'm so glad I have a backup camera.
Yes, when hooking up, these are invaluable. And if you have a pickup truck, you can angle it so that it points directly at the ball. All the very best, Cheers Rick
10:00 mark was a bonus. THANK YOU. I wanted to know how the mechanism inside the hitch worked. Plus the cranking back up tip is a great one. Much appreciated.

Have a look at this video too: ua-cam.com/video/a_MasXzM-tE/v-deo.html
As for backing up, Put your hand over the right seat back and turn your head and look straight down the middle of your car or truck. You can also look at your mirrors and try to imagine where your wheels are and line them up with the trailers, which should be about the same width. In your head imagine how close you are to the hitch, as you did. In the Trucking Industry, we call it "G.O.A.L" or "Get Out And Look" and that is important when you're backing up with or without a spotter. Good video, a lot of good information there. Always remember, even with a Spotter a backing up accidents are Always Your Fault. They can place blame on the spotter, but You're captain of your ship, and solely responsible.
Hi Stephen D James - Apologies for the late response. Thank you for your comment and relevant information. All the best, Cheers Rick

Great video. We are new to the trailer world. We just bought a little tear drop trailer. One thing we were told when hooking up was to NOT to criss/cross our safety chains. I can’t remember the reason, but I believe it was something to do with the design of the trailer. Can you confirm this? Thank you!
This video was very helpful. Thank you!

Excellent video for a newbie (first timer). Thank you! Surprised to see that CRV was sufficient to pull that camper. I guess, you probably are taking good care of its transmission.
Hi Abhijit Das - you are most welcome my friend. That little camper trailer only weighs about 1,000lbs my friend. Still, it is a little bit underpowered for even that trailer. What kind of trailer are you pulling my friend? All the best, Cheers Rick
My dad’s truck has a backup camera which is really useful when hooking up a trailer because it’s right above the hitch.
Yes, those are super helpful for hooking a trailer. All the very best, Cheers Rick

Hey guys, Rick. I pull a 6’x10’ Carry brand dry weight about 1,000lbs max weight 3,200lbs behind a 2008 Outback XT stick shift. Loaded, I like my tongue weight max at 250/300 lbs and the hitch is set to ride as level-- with the towing vehicle as possible. I also recommend a smear of non conducive grease or vaseline on all lamp bases and electrical connections.
Thank you for was helpful I was tow a horse trailer

I did it! I have a 2011 Subaru Outback I'd had a hitch installed on three or four years ago. I have a kayak trailer which my husband refused to tow with my car. I was never allowed to tow anything. Six months ago, I bought a utility trailer for my business. Still not allowed to tow it with my car. Two weeks ago, I filed for divorce and my husband moved out. I watched this video, and hooked up my trailer and took it for a test run. Fortunately I have a circular drive because I have no idea how to back the thing up! One step at a time, right? Thanks so much for the useful information. My only problem is that my chains drag on the ground. What do I do about that?
Hi Christin Kuck - LMAO - that's a funny story. You go girl...GIRL POWER! Thank you for your comment. And you are most welcome. That is a brilliant story. We're happy to hear that you're towing a trailer my friend. We'll get the other videos up for your to help with general driving and backing a trailer. If there is anything further we can do in the interim, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
Christin Kuck
I’m in the same situation. You inspired me to have courage. Thanks!
@@smartdrivetest But how do you prevent the chain drag she mentioned in the end?? How would you temporarily shorten them for the particular tow vehicle you are using at the time? This is a serious issue that causes wild fires.
@@A11iOop I twist the chains to shorten them so as not to drag. Good for you OP on discarding that man who tried to tell you what you are “allowed” to do.
I'm with the single ladies. I was with a dirt track racer for 20 years and never allowed to play with any of the toys in spite of extensive experience managing large boats both in and out of the water. I watched the video to make sure I remembered how - and I do. Thanks for the reassurance. Thanks for the advice. Thanks for the close up pics.
I have a 7' x 10' single axel cargo trailer w/ball coupling that takes a 2-5/16 ball. This is proving difficult as the U-Haul trucks only go up to a 2" ball. We will eventually get a receiver installed on our car. Can we safely use a 2" ball (U-Haul truck) to tow the trailer?
Thank you, Catherine
Thanks some good tips
Hi Mark Hymowitz - you are most welcome my friend. Drop us a note if we can help further my friend. All the best, Cheers Rick
Hey, awesome info, thank you for sharing and teaching us al this wonderful knowledge on how to start in this new enterprise at least for me.
I drive a Jeep Compass 2020 and would love to install from scratch all the system to be able to use a trailer; I live in Sarasota FLO so where would you recommend to start looking?
I really appreciate your input on this matter
Thanks again

Hi Rich Guillen - thank you for your kind words. We're happy to hear we could help out. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
rearview camera ftw! reversing to the trailer.
Hi Rick, just watched your video to see if you had any good pointers for hooking up. I have been following the steps you demonstrated for hooking up, so the video was quite reassuring to me.
A suggestion would be to describe trailering level. Keeping the tow vehicle level keeps the front tires planted and the headlights aimed properly. Keeping the trailer level keeps the load centered properly and under control. So choose the hitch with the closest rise or drop as possible. If the tongue weight is enough that the bumper drops too low then you need to get a weight distribution hitch to level the tow vehicle.
Additionally, as a part of my inspection process after completing hookup, I check to be sure all the lights are functioning properly and that the trailer brakes are working.
The ball sizes I use are a 2" ball for my 17' aluminum bass boat and a 2 5/16" ball for my 7' x 16' tandem axle cargo trailer.
Hi jhatchit - that is great information. Yes, the trailer should be level, and depending on the towing vehicle, the receiver will have a different drop to accommodate the trailer and keep it level. And yes, if the tongue weight is too much, it's going to affect the handling of the towing unit and the headlights. Thank you so much for that detailed information. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
jhatchit hey
Great tip
Hi Barry Williamson - you are most welcome my friend. Drop us a note if we can help further. All the best, Cheers Rick
Where the lube grease that say add to the ball before attaching in the manuals? Great formal video I guess
Ok, 1st- those hooks are completely unsafe for use. There is nothing to hold them into place except gravity. You have such a Bad chance on a bumpy road ( Train Tracks or Crossings) of them falling off. They should have a Flap in place to hold them if they were to bounce around, there is no chance of falling off. 2nd- The reason the chains are crossed is to prevent the trailer from falling away from the lead, and running into more trouble that you would want. If you placed the chains on straight as I have seen many people do, if the trailer were to become unhitched, the chains would hold the trailer from flying off, but the length would allow the trailer to go uncontrollably left to right and up and down in the severest way, damaging pretty much everything around the back end of your vehicle. And that could include rupturing your fuel tank, and then you also have more risk of the trailer flipping and possibly overturning your vehicle as well. By crossing the chains you will not eliminate everything by way of damage, but you will cut down a lot of the swing because this means the trailer has less travel area to swing. And with some luck keep your fuel tank in one piece and not spilling it's contents.
Hi Stephen D James - Apologies for the late response. Thank you for your comment and query. It may be difficult to see in the video, by those hooks have small clips to prevent the chains from unhooking. Also, if you hook up through the bottom, there is a low chance that the chains will become disconnect. Similar practice for paddocks on truck doors and whatnot. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
Thank you very much Rick.
Hi Dorcas Dee Matsobane - Thank you for your comment. And you are most welcome. Happy to hear we could help out. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
I would guess with a 7-pin electrical connection you might have electric brakes on the trailer. In the US, trailers with electric brakes utilise a "deadman" cable that is attached to the tow vehicle. If the trailer separates from the tow vehicle a pin that is connected to the cable gets pulled out of a switch on the trailer that engages the trailer brakes powered by a separate battery. I recently became the owner of a Class A RV and find your descriptions extremely thorough and informative. I'm considering taking a CDL class mostly for safety. Thanks for high quality instruction.
Hi Jumpin' JohnnyGee - thank you for your detailed comment and compliment. And you are correct - the 7-pin is also for the electric brakes on bigger trailers - usually anything that is tandem axle. I'll cover that in another video when I go over brake controllers. And the "deadman" cable to which you're referring is the emergency breakaway device. It must be checked as part of the pre-trip inspection. Simply disconnect it and then attempt to move the vehicle forward. The trailer brakes should be locked and the unit should not move. And you are most welcome. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
The locking mechanism on my trailer hitch won’t come down. The little metal piece that locks onto the ball. Any advice on how to fix that?
I am having the same trouble.
great video!
one thing to mention in the interior of bc
,is not to let chains drag on ground as these have been known to start forest fires
Hi Terry Jackson - Thank you for your comment and relevant information. Yes, there is a danger of sparks. I'm not sure how drivers or passengers could tolerate the sound of the jingle dragging chains. ;o) All the best, Cheers Rick
@@smartdrivetest But how do you prevent the chain drag?? How would you temporarily shorten them for the particular tow vehicle you are using at the time?
Twist the chains to shorten them and prevent dragging. Drop us a note if we can help further. Cheers Rick
Hi, I am a newbie----what about the emergency break away system? Thanks for your videos!
Hi Star Dust - Thank you for your query. Yes, as part of your pre-trip inspection you want to test the trailer breakaway system. You simply disconnect it my friend at the breakaway switch, and then remove the wheels chocks, and try to move the vehicle forward. The trailer brakes should be applied and the unit should not move. All the best, Cheers Rick
Any tips on how to avoid catching the backside of the latch assembly? I think this is a more common problem that I can't seem to find tips at how to avoid. When this happens it can look like the latch is on. It doesn't sit up much higher than normal but the latch clips easier than normal above the ball and if you do the check by raising the trailer it comes off the hitch. I killed my wife's transmission by not performing that check and having that issue.
Unfortunately none of your responses to questions/comments are showing for some reason. Very helpful video.
What can we help you with Susan? Cheers Rick
@@smartdrivetest Maybe it was a glitch in the program? Or my computer? Showing fine now:)

what should I do if a deer or animal jumps out in front of me?
Brake or steer in the opposite path of the deer NEVER brake and steer do one or the other.. I feel like Rick OMG
Hi Austin Foster - thank you for your comment and query. Yes, Big$MoneyBoss is correct - steering and braking should be separate actions. First, if it's a smaller animal (not a wombat), run over it. Do not risk you life for a dog, a rabbit, or other smaller animal. If it's a bigger animal, try to reduce your speed as much as possible, which is usually not possible because animals--in my experience--get you totally, totally by surprise. If you have a little time, work to steer off the centre of the animal as much as possible. In other words, try not to hit the animal square on. And last, let go of the brakes on the vehicle before impact. If you're braking and strike the animal it could go through the windshield because the front of the vehicle dips down when braking. So release the brakes to bring the front of the vehicle back up and prevent--as much as possible--the possibility of the animal coming through the windshield. Another strategy is to always follow another vehicle in areas where there are animals; that way, that vehicle acts like a buffer between you and potential animals. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick

Are we allowed by law to be a hot shot carrier using an SUV?
Hi sblizzy - Thank you for your question. Is "hot shot" an expression of "it and a bit" or an actual carrier? All the best, Cheers Rick
Smart Drive Test ok. I thought it’s an official term by truckers. I’ve seen vehicles like F-150s hauling trailers of cars so I was wondering if you knew if we can use our SUVs. I have Jeep Commander that still has a lot of power.
Hi sblizzy - probably not the best vehicle if you want to work as a commercial hauler. You'd probably need a large pickup truck--a 350 (3500) and a dually--if you were going to get hired a hauler. All the best, Cheers Rick

I have a simple 6 x 4 trailer with removable rails, consisting of two cross beams, on the front and back so that I can move my two 3.7m kayaks. The kayaks only weight 37kg's each so moving the trailer without the vehicle is not too hard.
The kayaks are 89cm wide so trying to find roof racks almost 2m wide was not a good options as it would be God awful ugly and to high on top of My vehicle to park in the garage.
As the kayaks stay on the trailer between usage the foot print in the garage is actually smaller than having them sit on the ground next to each other.
