Practive before you go

I had to learn after being thrown in the deep end last year. My advice, once you get the trailer is to practice. Hooking up (with a checklist). Drive some, backup some. Unhook (with a checklist). Get level and understand what you need to do to get power, water, and dump waste water. Do this multiple times before you travel.

Every hitch is different, and many people are almost religious about their brand. You need advice (Youtube or Dealer) for your exact setup, so you have to discard much advice as not applicable.

Your checklist will evolve. Lots of examples on the web to start with.

Turns are one thing, but also you have to think 3 dimensionally. Overhead wires, branches and bridges are much more impactful than an uninvolved observer might think.

It will be stressful to began with. Hold on to patience, and it will get better.
