Towing a camper is possibly the most enjoyable way to take a road trip. Before you set out on your next road vacation, make sure you follow these simple steps from Cutter Mitsubishi-Aiea in Aiea, HI for safely preparing your vehicle and camper.

Know Your Vehicle's Towing Capacity

The first step is knowing how much your camper weighs and the spec for towing capacity recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. It is extremely unwise to tow a trailer that is too heavy for the car.

Check the Brakes

Braking is possibly the most important part when towing a camper. If the camper is on wheels, plug in the brakes, and make sure they are functioning correctly. If the camper doesn't have brakes, do a low-speed test to make sure your vehicle is capable of stopping with a trailer behind it.
