Towing a Camping Trailer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
One of the most important things that you will have to learn is the skills required to tow your camper trailer. Camping trailers require a vehicle that is capable of towing it, and a driver that has the experience and skills to pull the trailer. Hauling a camping trailer behind you is akin to being a tractor trailer operator and there are certain skills that you must learn and practice before you are able to pull camper trailers without any problems. Before you hit the road, off to the next great adventure, keep some of the following things in mind.
First, you should make sure that you have a vehicle that is capable of towing your camping trailer. This requires finding the owner's manual and looking up the information to determine if your truck can handle what you are hauling. Look in your vehicle manual for the following: First,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], your Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. Your GVWR is the maximum amount of weight that a fully loaded truck can weight, including the tongue of the trailer on the hitch. You'll also need to look at the Gross Combination Weight Rating, which is the amount of weight that your vehicle can tow, or the weight of your trailer. You may also want to look at the Gross Axle Weight Rating, to make sure that you are distributing the weight correctly.
Let's talk for a minute about trailer hitches. There are four types that are used to haul trailers. The Class I is the lightest of the series,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and it moves upward to Class II, Class II with Class IV being the heaviest. Any hitch ball will be able to fit the Class IV hitch,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but you need to make sure that your vehicle can handle the hitch that you are putting on there. If you put a receiver hitch on,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then it can be easily exchanged if necessary for different loads and different drop heights.
