    I'm also a single female traveler with trailer.
    Couple of suggestions
    I have a list that I keep for hooking up and then reverse. This way I always have a cheat sheet to look at.
    Please please chalk your trailer tires before unhooking.
    Suggestions I carry bright orange soccer goals that I set out when backing to give me something to see behind me.
    Practice makes it easier you have this.

    My brother told me to go slow, steer from the bottom of the wheel (trailer goes the direction you're turning if hands are at the bottom), once you're lined up, follow the trailer and get out as many times as you feel you need to. His existential calm was deeply appreciated.

    Hoorah! I have the same hitch lock and it is awesome. You’ll get used to backing it into place, hooking up, etc. and it’ll be like second nature. It is more work, but it’s worth it. It’s awesome that you just jumped into this whole lifestyle, and a travel trailer with no experience, with a can-do attitude! I think that’s so inspiring. A tip I have is that you can put a taller stack of those yellow block things under the tongue stand so you don’t have to wait forever for it to crank up and down. Another suggestion (from experience) is that the wheel chocks be put in place before the trailer is lifted off the ball. I lifted it one time without the chocks and it started rolling, but Thank Goodness the tongue foot thing stuck in the ground and caught it. Lesson learned! Im so excited for you!

    It is simple went back in a combination vehicle you turn your wheel the opposite way you want to try to go so if you want to travel to go to the right, you turn your wheel true that if you want to go to the left it on your way to the right, because you in a combination vehicle

    You can do eccentially the same thing as semi truck drivers. When they are backing up, They use the painted lines on the ground to line up the trailer when they are parking at a dock. I have faith in you that you will do just fine with a little practice. All the best to you

    Hi Brittany. I am so excited for you and your new home. Yes it's a little more work but then it becomes old hat after a while. Just remember to chock your tires to camper before releasing it. Trust me if you are on a hill chasing it isn't helpful. Lol I know because I did.

  • @carolinefreeebyrdacw13ly
    @carolinefreeebyrdacw13ly ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hi there. A backing tip: hand on bottom of steering wheel which will send back of the trailer in the direction you are turning the steering wheel - Example: hand on bottom if steering wheel - turn steering wheel to the right and trailer will back to the right - turn steering wheel the left and trailer will back to the left.
    My father thought me this and it works flawlessly. Using this method and you don't even have to think about which way the trailer rear-end will go. After some time it will become second nature. Good luck to you young lady and happy travels. Please be safe out there!

  • @tanyawalker531

    Quick tip…….. Turn your steering wheel opposite of the way you want trailer to turn. Great job!

  • @greyskeeter
    @greyskeeter ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Always chock the wheels before disconnect saving your fingers or damage to tow vehicle. You only have 2 chocks place both on one wheel preventing rolling forward or backwards. Safe travels.

  • @adventurousspirit6628
    @adventurousspirit6628 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    Great job Sis, it will get easier the more you back up. With these one axle trailers sometimes if the ground is uneven it doesn't matter which way you turn your wheel, they will start to go the opposite of where you want it to go. When that happens take a deep breath, relax and pull forward and start reversing again, works every time. I know that you don't show everything on video, but make sure that you level from side to side before unhitching (its important that you are level so that your refridgerator will work properly), chalk your wheels then take the car off the hitch. You can then level front to back with the automatic jack. I'm looking forward to your adventures in that cute Rpod. I have a teardrop and I absolutely love her!

    Girl you're quite handy and experienced with this mechanical operation. I'm gonna just watch and learn at this point. And as a matter of fact they have a battery operated dolly that actually allows you to physically move your trailer, I mean literally roll it around like you're moving furniture in your house, and it doesn't cost that much. Look at videos of battery operated Dolly's that move trailers.. It's called Trailer Valet XL dolly.

    Put a cover over the door lock button it’s a must. My dog lock the doors on me while I had the heater running at full blast I was about to break the window and the lock guy finally got there and unlock my car. Dogs and cats lock you out all the time by standing on those buttons. I also get a hide a key as a back up. You got it down already from my point of view.

    New Subscriber! Congratulations on your new travel trailer! This is an older video so you may already be doing some of there things.
    1. That hitch ball lubricant can be very messy and attracts a lot of dirt. I use spray graphite and it lubes just as well, is not messy and hardly attracts any dirt.
    2. It looks like you don't have a weight distribution hitch. With the weight of your TT and the towing capacity of your tow vehicle, you may not need one. How does your TT tow without one? Is there any sway? We tow with a minivan and having a WDH is a must, particularly since minivans sit pretty low to the ground. We use a WDH mainly for weight distribution but it also helps with sway.
    3. If you don't have a back up camera on your TT, get one installed. Not only will it help with backing up but you can have it on while traveling and it gives you a view of what is behind you!
    Safe travels!

  • @kgsavedbyfaithgrace1603
    @kgsavedbyfaithgrace1603 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Darling I think you are doing way more work than necessary.... Just to stay the night you don't even have to unhook. Just raise your tongue lift enough just to take the weight off the bumper. You could still use your levelers if you want but you don't have to... It's just going to rock a little bit more if you don't. Or just use the rear ones to stabilize a little bit.. but if you plug into power just unplug from your truck and replug before you go. . you don't have to do all that unhooking unless you were going to stay there for a couple days or use your vehicle and leave your trailer behind.
    God bless you and yours and all my brothers and sisters out there!😇

    @rollingwithbliss8175 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi Brittney, we are fans! We are Rvr'S as well. Very important note. Always chock your trailer tires before unhooking. I'm sure you noticed the short roll back when you disconnected. Please be safe when connecting and disconnecting. One more thing if you don't mind. Don't lock the hitch in the open position either before you disconnect, because sometimes the ball will not so easily pop out from under the cup and your electric jack will raise your tow vehicle as well. Ok again be safe.

    • @WhereIsBrittany

    • @rollingwithbliss8175
      @rollingwithbliss8175 ปีที่แล้ว

      Its a little tough to explain, but if you noticed the electric jack was lifting you car as well as the trailer; sometimes the hitch ball does not pop out so easily (maybe it did for you because of the grease). Anyhow its a matter of convenience sometimes you'll need to hop back in the car and back up or pull forward inches to be able to disconnect. Thanks again for sharing you travels.

    Yes a bumper pull is more work than a motorized rv/van/bus. I finally sold mine as there was too much getting up and down and I'm a lady in my senior years. I liked the minivan camper a lot. I even had an SUV made into camper, but minivan was my fave. I did miss being able to stand inside. Especially when there was a string of bad weather days. Your new little trailer is cute and will give you some new adventures.

You don’t want to injure your hands and the gloves give you a good grip. Also, get you a routine you do every time you travel so you’ll never forget anything. Backing up remember the direction you turn your wheel your trailer goes the opposite. Get out as many times as you need to check your trailer. Happy travels!!🙏🏽🤍

    Hello Brittany, just wanted to throw some advice your way per Domino.fill the gas tank add fuel stabilizer, put tires on planks run some RV antifreeze through your pump till run out the sink and put some laundry softener sheets in the drawers and some moth balls around underneath the field mice and city mice love a vacant RV or vehicle and some good silicone caulk might fix your leak but you probably know got it all taken care of but just in case you forgot..... Happy travels with the new wagon I'll be looking forward to riding along vicariously 😂

    Interesting - we had considered the camper route but went with our van instead - just for these reasons - and so far do not regret that decision! Keep making memories & adventure on! ~Karen & Shannon WOY

    Hi Brittany. Always, always chalk your wheels before you unhitch. If you look at your video you can see that your trailer started to roll. That could be a catastrophe. Put one chalk in front of a wheel and one chalk behind the same wheel. Be careful!

    Your rpod is wired for a backup camera, get the company that sells the pod to place one in. If you order the system on line, it may be cheaper

    Just a reminder, if you go to back up a trailer, steer the opposite way you would normally do backing up. The trailer has a pivot point and will always go the wrong way if you back up as you normally do into a spot without a trailer. REVERSING A TRAILER: (Turn right for the trailer to go left/turn left for the trailer to go right). Cheers

      It also helps to use one hand bottom center of the wheel. Move it in the direction you want to go. Very small adjustments since the trailer is so short. You got this!!

      @edwardmoore9666 With practice, she'll be a pro in no time. I drive a 73 foot vehicle everyday and I have to be proficient and safe about it, even backing up on a blindside (backing up without being able to see on the passenger side). Cheers
