TOWING YOUR AIRSTREAM
B - 7
applying the trailer brakes with your manual control will help eliminate sway.
WARNING: CHOCK THE TRAILER WHEELS when stopping on a hill or
slope. Leaving your tow vehicle in gear is not enough for standstill safety. Do not
use trailer brakes as parking brakes.
Tracking
On a two-lane road cars will be lining up behind you because you travel at a lower
speed. It is both courteous and sensible to signal, pull onto the shoulder, and let them
pass. Your trailer is designed to be towed easily at any legal speed, so if you are not
careful you may be inclined to forget it is there.
Passing
ON FREEWAYS OR EXPRESSWAYS try to pick the lane you want and stay in it. Always
maintain plenty of space between you and the car ahead, at least the length of the tow
vehicle plus trailer for every ten miles per hour. Remember that in order to pass another
vehicle you will need longer to accelerate. You must also allow for the length of the
trailer when returning to the right hand lane.
