Good luck to you. Stay calm, keep an eye ot two open for those that, for whatever reason, can't see the trailer behind you when they merge onto the highway. Most of all, have FUN!

Everything will be just fine. Heck, there's more room to manuver on the expressway. Have a great trip.

Check your tire pressures, up to max as indicated on the tire, do not trust that your dealer checked them in the PDI as I did. 250 miles and two blown tires.

Have a great trip, you are gonna love it, don't forget your toothbrush

We're going to Hoffmaster SP in Muskegon. Youroo, dh has some work to get done still, so we're waiting on him.

I need to remember where I put my tire pressure gauge...

Enjoy the trip.

Keeping a tire pressure gauge ,in the tow vehicle glove box, might be a good choice ...

We took our first trip on the highway last weekend and all went fine until we were turning into my parent's driveway where we store the trailer, as I was getting ready to make the turn in an SUV came up on my right side . If I wouldn't have been paying attention in my mirror I would have turned right into him. Keep your eyes open and give plenty of distance people do strange things on the road.

How a great trip. We're heading out tomorrow too! Our first trip! Going to West Chester PA. Longwood Gardens has some cool treehouses that the boys should like. They've been counting down the days.

It was in my center console.

It wasn't bad at all once I found my groove.
