How To Tow A Trailer - Certain Essentials You Should Know For Your Own Safety
Make sure you know how to tow a trailer safely, before trying to do so. A towing hitch used to securely connect the trailer to the towing vehicle is an equipment that is a prerequisite in towing.
Whether you are towing a boat to the nearby lake or tools for heavy-duty work, you have to be safe by making use of the appropriate tow hitch and methods.
Towing Equipment and Towing Hitch Basics
Here are some basic towing equipment pieces you should know:
1. Trailer hitch receiver - The bar to metal that connects to your car. You need a ball mount to connect to the base.
2. Ball mount - The ball of metal atop the trailer hitch receiver
3. Trailer tongue - A bar from the trailer's frond to the towing hitch
4. Coupler - Inverted cup at the tongues end that is placed over the ball mount to connect your vehicle and the trailer.
How to Attach the Towing Hitch
Certain tips on how to attach a trailer to a tow vehicle are as follows:
1. Know the towing capability of your vehicle as well as the weight you are towing.
Your manual can show you the vehicle's capacity. To know the weight you are towing, measure the trailer's weight plus the objects on it. Account for any extras such as the inside contents of the camper or the fuel inside the tank.
2. Choose the proper rating together with the tow hitch.
Hitches are categorized into Categories I to V, each category increasing in towing capacity. Category I trailers have a maximum capacity of 2,000 lbs while Category V trailers have a maximum ten thousand pounds capacity.
3. Connect the brakes and lights wiring.
Break as well as turn signals is fitted into trailers. Equip your vehicle with the appropriate wiring harness to attach the light to the vehicle. Trailer brakes might be essential for a towing weight of over one thousand five hundred pounds. therefore make sure your vehicle has them as well.
4. Trailer registration is a must.
License plates are needed for trailers. Before taking to the road, acquire correct plates and registration and affix the plate at the back end.
5. Know your length of your state and width cargo limits.
Restrictions are in place with regard to cargo weight and length before having to use extra lights or flags. States, for instance, need a red light or flag at the rear of the vehicle for long wooden planks.
6. Strap down the cargo.
Bumps, hills and turns could shift the cargo. The trailer may be ripped of the hitch if the cargo becomes off balance. Tightly pack and secure everything to avoid this.
7. Hook your trailer.
Attach the ball mount and coupler together. Make they fit securely. Attach safety chains between the tow vehicles and trailer as well. Cross the said chains underneath the tongue of the trailer. Attach the chain to tow vehicle and not the tow hitch. The chains serve as backup safety choices that keep the tow vehicle and trailer connected if the hitch fails. Fix all electrical and check the lights.

Trailer light problem?
I just installed a Peterson universal trailer light kit on boat trailer this morning. I connected it to my truck & I discovered that everything works fine except the brake lights. The hazards work, turn signals, but when I press the brakes the light goes off instead of getting brighter. Any ideas?
It may just be a bad ground. Sometimes if the ball or trailer hitch dirty/rusty it do this. Try pulling it around with the truck and see if it not start working.
If, the wires are correct. Blinkers are the Brakes too. So, if the blinkers are working the brake lights should work also.
If, you have to, you can connect a wire to ground on the truck and one to ground on the trailer. Most plugs have the wire (White) it just never connected as the trailer should ground on the ball.
