Dad always repacked the trailer wheel bearings, tires, did a trailer brake check, checked elect. hookup to car’s elect system, checked all trailer lighting functions, incl. running lights, had the boat motor tuned up and water tested, and we did a short run at a local lake to test hauling and running functions. All before we packed thing for the trip. Speaking of packing: tools, spare hoses and trailer tires and fuses were always taken with us in a repair kit. Essential because things happen in down time storage. My brother did quite of bit of cross country 5th wheel hauling with his Ram 3500. He finally had to go to a commercial tractor cab to haul over mtns because it wasn’t the axle ratio, it was the extra capacity in he brakes he needed going DOWN the long grades. Have your brakes checked thoroughly by someone familiar with hauling weight. Happy travels and many sweet memories this summer!
