All the above is good advice. I have trailered thousands of miles with all kinds of trailers. 1500 just in the last week. Being prepared usually means you won't need it.

If you are new to trailering I have two suggestions. 1) Find an empty parking lot and practice backing up. You WILL need to backup a trailer. 2) Take a test trip. Spend an afternoon and travel out 100 miles and back. Pick a route with some city, Interstate, and state highway roads. Watch how the trailer handles behind your vehicle, and how your vehicle handles with a trailer behind it. Are you comfortable? If NOT, fix it before your big trip.

Good luck and enjoy! That is why we do this.
