Check these items first thing every day before you travel.   Check and adjust air pressure of the tires according to the manufacturers recommendations.  Check the tires when they are cold.

Make sure the lug nuts are tight and all there.

Check the wheel hubs and that the bearings are properly adjusted and lubricated.

Check all nuts and bolts to be sure they are properly tightened.

Check that the coupler is properly adjusted and secured to the ball mount.

Make sure the safety chains are on correctly.

Check to see that the lights are working.

Double check to make sure the towed vehicle is properly secured to the dolly.

Make sure the parking brake on the towed vehicle is off.

Check straps after 10 miles and tighten if needed.  Then check again after 1oo miles.

Do not attempt to back up with a dolly attached to your RV.

GOOD TIMES, GOOD FRIENDS, GOOD FOOD
