From someone who is interested in this lifestyle but currently has no RV experience, these types of videos are extremely helpful to understand how things work. So many little tidbits of information that RVers take for granted that I would not have thought of... Thanks Cass for posting another good video. (Unsolicited idea for a future video...show the simple act of getting gas...how to position the rig, where to go, navigating through small gas stations,etc. This makes me nervous thinking about doing this for the first time)

Great video idea Drew! That's one of those items I think about every time I drive into a gas station, but never thought of filming. It's also a lot easier for a small RV like myself to navigate than a larger rig.

I would highly recommend replacing that red curly line for the electric brakes. The idea is for the cable to pull the key out to activate the brakes. If its to long, the brakes never apply and then when you hit the brakes, you get rear-ended by your own trailer. Make the cable a inch or two, shorter than the chains. Stay safe🙂👍

Really enjoying catching up on your videos after finding your site a few days ago. Great info for everyone with a trailer. You are direct and straight forward with information which makes your content easy and rewarding to follow. I have a small hard sided pop up trailer and go through the same routine but do use a checklist as I've found even after years of doing this once in awhile I forget to do something. One thing I would recommend is a lock for your trailer hitch. I've talked to too many campers who have had their trailer hitch removed while at a trail head, or just out and about, leaving them unable to hook their trailer back up. It's unfortunate but it does happen.

I just bought a small travel trailer and plan to take it out on short trips near home for the first few times. I have owned travel trailers before (stationary) so I understand all of that but towing is very new for me. My plan is to get comfortable with towing and then head out full time. I have watched this video several times to drill it into my head. I have fear of the unknown so I'm very happy there are people out there like you to relieve my anxiety a little. Thank you!

I am late commenting, but this was excellent! I have solo rvd in a 33 foot motorhome, towing my Jeep Wrangler (4 down) for almost 16 years ... some full time, some shorter from overnight to 7 months ... 44K miles over those 16 years. Even with all that, I have a "pre-roll checklist" on my visor. I review it before I roll - ALWAYS! I have a set order and routine, but safety for me (pets) and others on the road is so important. Enough about me ... this video was very helpful as I am considering changing to truck/SUV and trailer ... looking at Basecamp and ??? I have wondered about the hookup process and this answered so many questions. Thank you for taking the time for a detailed video with great camera shots. AND ... love Jasper and Napoleon :)

I have one too. V6. I think with a good wd hitch we'd be okay towing a basecamp 20x, somewhere around 4000 or 4500 wet. She tows the 16ft and her 4runner tows 5000 max. But what do you think about the crappy tongue weight of the trailhawk jgc? It's only 350. That's why you need to pay more for special hitches, wd and antisway, I think.

I remember when I first came upon your site on youtube, Your site name, "Tails of Wanderlust'"is the title of a documentary released in the summer of 2006, "Wanderlust" about how the Americans on the road affect us all. Thanks for the detailed direction to safer traveling.

Tails of Wanderlust I had a terrible experience trying to unhook my little guy tear drop camper from my Jeep pickup truck a month ago when I drove 19 hours round trip to Vermont to go get it and left with no instruction and no experience with ever towing anything so I’m grateful to God for keeping me and my old dog Katie safe on such a long adventure but oh the next Day I wept because I broke the handle right off the manual jack!! Then the camper was half on and half off the ball so I couldn’t use my Jeep and I just cried and cried feeling helpless and like I made a huge investment that was a huge mistake and it sure hasn’t been easy at all for now my new camper sits at a Rv shop in PA awaiting a back ordered hitch that may never become available... it’s like having a gun without ammo- it renders it useless... I must continue to trust that God will work it all out somehow for my good and His Glory... Thanks for encouraging me... I was quickly loosing hope of ever getting a chance to even sleep one night in my new camper and especially since the lockdowns are changing the world and I fear it will come a day when we can’t travel freely without proof of vaccine and I refuse to get one.. well only God knows... God bless you and your beautiful fur babies... God Speed and Strength be with you my friend

Like your Video but like to make a suggestion that I found helpful. My jack is a little different that yours it had the handle on top so I took the handle off and put u joint from a socket set on then I’m able to use my drill w/adapter to raise and lower my jack. Keep up the good work! Keep up the good work!
