Cozy Camper for Small Families

• On the Road: Safe Driving Tips: - Drive Slower & Allow Extra Space – Towing reduces braking efficiency, so increase your following distance. - Make Wider Turns – Trailers track inside your vehicle’s path, so take turns a little wider than usual. - Maintain a Balanced Load – Distribute weight evenly to prevent swaying or fishtailing. - Use Tow/Haul Mode – If your vehicle has a tow mode, use it for improved power and braking. - Watch for Sway & Wind Gusts – Slow down if strong winds or passing trucks cause trailer sway. - Downshift on Hills – Avoid excessive braking on steep declines; use lower gears to control speed. - Watch for Low Clearance Areas – Check bridge heights and gas station overhangs to avoid clearance issues. - Pass with Caution – Overtake only when necessary, as towing requires extra distance to pass safely. ---------------------------------------- • Parking, Backing & Campsite Setup - Practice Backing Up – Turn the wheel in the opposite direction of where you want the trailer to go. - Use a Spotter – Have someone guide you when backing into tight spaces. - Check Campsite Size – Ensure your reserved campsite accommodates the camper's length. - Use Wheel Chocks – Always place chocks behind the wheels before unhitching. - Level Your Camper – Use leveling blocks or jacks to stabilize the trailer. --------------------------------------- • Other Safety Considerations - Know the Laws – Some states require brake controllers, special permits, or speed restrictions when towing. - Plan Fuel Stops – Some gas stations have limited space for trailers—plan stops accordingly. - Recheck Connections – Inspect your hitch, chains, and tires at every rest stop. - Have an Emergency Plan – Carry a roadside assistance kit, spare tires, and emergency contacts.
