Why Should You Hire A
Transporter? |
| |
|
I have a "Friend With A Truck" that
will move the trailer for me and I will save a lot of money! |
| |
| Just how experienced is
your "Friend With A Truck"? |
| How many Campers has
he
actually moved? |
| |
|
Most people with trucks
have never towed a 30 to 40 foot trailer that weighs between 5,000 and
12,000 pounds. The uneven weight distribution of a camper trailer will
cause it to sway as it is being towed, especially at highway speeds.
The placement of the trailers axles creates off-tracking and the rear
overhand can cause problems when turning at intersections and when
maneuvering in tight areas like campgrounds and campsites. Don't forget
about the height of the camper...there are a lot of low tree branches and
some low bridges. But is your "Friend With A Truck" a patient and courteous
driver? Most other drivers (maybe even yourself) do not like to get
behind trucks and trailers. Drivers often do stupid things like cutting out
from a side street at the last minute to keep from getting behind the
trailer or they will pass a trailer and then slow down to make a turn.
You all know what I mean! It takes time, patients, and good
driving skills to tow a long, heavy trailer. |
| |
|
Do you and your "Friend
With A Truck" know? |
| |
| Most trucks have a Class 3 Receiver,
but some campers require a Class 5 receiver! |
|
Have
you ever seen a trailer separate from a truck on the road? |
| |
|
Is the rating of the
Ball and Hitch sufficient to accommodate this heavy weight? |
|
Under rated equipment
can cause accidents, damage, and injury! |
| |
|
Is the hitch adjustable
to allow the trailer to be level when towing? |
|
The trailer is easier to
control (less sway) when it is level with the truck. |
| |
|
Does your "Friend With A
Truck" have the proper plug receptacle for the trailer lights and brakes? |
|
Brakes, lights, turn
signals are required by law. If they don't work, you are at high risk of an
accident. |
| |
|
Does your "Friend
With A Truck" have an electric brake control? |
|
Properly working trailer
brakes are required by law and they are definitely needed when stopping
to avoid mishaps. |
| |
|
Are you going to
register the trailer or just slap a plate on it? |
|
Law requires the
trailer to be registered. This can cost you hundreds of dollars.
Slapping a plate on a trailer is illegal and can affect insurance
coverage in the event of an accident. |
| |
|
Do all the lights,
turn signals, and brakes work properly? |
|
This is required by
Law. If they are not working properly, then following closely being your
"Friend With A Truck" creates a very high risk of an accident and you
are also at a very high risk of being stopped by a cop! |
| |
|
Does your "Friend
With A Truck" have the proper insurance to cover your trailer in the
event of an accident or other mishap? |
|
Without the proper
insurance you could find yourself without a camper and minus one
"Friend"! |
| |
