Towing Capacity/Matching Truck To Trailer

20:49

Whether you’re buying new or used, make sure your trailer is appropriate for the truck you already have. Dave Solberg discusses key considerations.

Tire Inspection and Bearing Maintenance

5:30

You may have remembered to test the engine, batteries, windows, slide rooms, appliances, windshield wipers and toilet, but if you haven’t checked the status of your RV tires, you’re not ready to hit the highway.

Repacking Wheel Bearings

19:55

Brian McIntire teaches you how to remove the wheel bearings on your RV and repack them with grease for the smoothest possible ride.

Hitch and Ball Maintenance

5:30

Not much maintenance is required for a hitch and ball tow unit, but there are a few things you should do to ensure a clean, solid connection. This simple process includes cleaning the components and keeping them well oiled.

Repairing Broken Breakaway Cable

6:00

A breakaway cable is critical for safety, should your trailer come unhitched from your vehicle while driving. Learn how to repair it and get back on the road.

7 Pin Verification

5:39

When getting ready to go, one of the crucial components in your safety check is making sure the lights and other electrical features are operational on the tow vehicle and the trailer. This requires inspecting the 7-pin trailer plug to guarantee that all aspects are functioning properly.

Upgrading Safety Chains

4:30

Safety chains are required by law on all tow trailers, and it’s important to conduct routine inspection of these chains to ensure they’re road ready.

FAQs

Most RVers have a regular routine towing maintenance for items like wheel bearings, tires, and a checklist for hooking the trailer to the hitch of the tow vehicle. However very few RVers know that it is important to inspect the hitch for cracks in the welds, breakaway cables, and other important but often overlooked items that are crucial to safety and longevity. These videos will provide information on how to properly repack wheel bearing and know when they need it. What to look for at the hitch connection such as the welds to the tow vehicle, how to safely and legally connect safety chains, and why connecting the breakaway cable to the hitch might not be a good idea.
