I'm not a lady, but I enjoy your videos immensely.As men, we try to over complicate simple things. Refreshing to hear a calm voice with great information.
Thank you so much for making this video. I had to search through 2 thousand dudes to find you so I could send this to my mom who is worried that she needs to be a man to do this for some reason. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Keep making videos.
I’m a woman & so thankful for this video. I’ve got this
As a very new square drop owner...I needed this.
Thank you first time camper. Truly have anxiety over hooking up, you make it a nice concise, easy learning, appreciate this.
Thank you! I really appreciate the video. I'm still trying to learn how to do all this and haven't braved pulling my trailer yet. This really helps a lot!
Just what I needed to watch, to give me the confidence for pulling out of the driveway! Thanks so much!

Well done video.
Very Informative I Subscribed to Your Channel ❤😌I Can Learn alot from you
Interested in the case/cover for the propane tanks and battery case. Where can I get one?
Love your video! Do you have a special camera to assist in getting to the hitch correctly?
Not sure about your tow vehicle, but my Ford back up camera has two modes. 1 for normal backup, view directly back. 2 for hitching, the camera view is angled down directly at the hitch area
If you didn't know the size of the receiver end of the trailer, and if it was a trailer you hadn't used before, how would you know what to do and if it was compatible? (This may be the case when looking at used trailers for sale, and there's 3 main sizes...not just 1.). And also can you put a 2 inch receiver on a 1.5" ball? Or do they have to be exactly the same size for both parts?
If you place a 2" receiver on a 1 7/8" ball you risk a disconnection if you hit a pothole or a driveway ramp or... Typically, larger trailers require larger balls.
@@GarfieldHiscock thank u very much.
Blonde question, but how do you check that the brake lights, turn signals work if you are by yourself?
Some trucks have a light check mode in dash computer where it will cycle through each light for you as you walk around. Hazards will check both turn signals.
I was given this tip: walk around to the back of camper and use your Fob key to open and lock the door, the camper lights should turn on when doing this.
I found this to be very cursory. Good overview but I craved close in shots particularly landing the ball into the receiver and locking. Good list - mention gloves?
So, she raised her stabilizer legs up first?
Thank you!
