Check the Battery and Bearings on your RV to make sure everything is in good shape. Travel trailers with electrically operated brakes have a breakaway switch with a 12V battery to engage the trailer brakes in case the hitch comes off. Make sure you check this battery occasionally to ensure this safety feature will engage when necessary. It’s also important to make sure your travel trailer wheel bearings are packed with a synthetic wheel-bearing grease. You should do this at least once a year to prevent undue wear on your travel trailer.
Remember, a trailer changes your vehicle’s center of gravity, so accelerate and decelerate slower. Make sure everything you’ve packed with you is evenly distributed, the more stable you are the less chance there is for sway when you’re driving at highway speeds. And make sure you’re performing simple maintenance and inspections, check your tires, your seals, bearings, battery, etc., before and after every trip and address any potential issues right away.
