How to hitch and unhitch a travel trailer for beginners with weight distribution bars

Here is a how to video on hitching and unhitching a travel trailer for beginners with weight distribution bars. I have a Forest River Flagstaff E-pro 15TB.
I know how nerve racking it can be to be a newbie at hitching and unhitching your trailer so I’m going to do a demonstration for you all and I hope this helps. If I can do it, you can do it. Practice practice practice…

I did not buy the weight distribution hitch with the sway bars from the dealer, got it home and will get the hitch now that I’ve watched your video. thank you for teaching me. 🙏

Thanks 👍

Great video, a couple of suggestions. Always put your coupler hitch-pin in before lifting the trailer as it will insure that the hitch doesn't release. White Lithium is good for the ball but you should never use it on the Torsion Bars as that Metal to Metal contact is what helps in the Sway Control of the trailer. IMHO and what others have said.

Great video Stephanie. One thing I always do is check my lights work after connecting my electric cable.

Lithium grease is a good idea. I don't hook up my chains or break-away until after the weight distribution bars are hooked up. Just that much less stuff to have to work around. Also, I use the dangling chain to judge how far I am raising the jack so I know when it's high enough to hook up the bars. Glad you're enjoying your unit.

Another great, informative video. Thanks. Hope to see you out on the road!!

Fantastic video very much appreciated 👍👍❤️😎

Nicely done video Stephanie you nailed it. Two things I do are “do not rush” hooking or unhooking & several trips around the rig checking that I don’t skip a step (rear stabilizers up before raising the tongue) yes it happened to me. Thanks for sharing your day. Positive thought, Safety First

[@roberttraylor1392]

awesome video good idea to use the grease and store you key in a container

[@MVARacing]

Will you take me camping? Great video !!

[@eaglescout1974]

Thanks Stephanie… great advice!!

Always put the coupler pin in before raising…do not lubricate weight distribution bar contact points unless specified by the manufacturer
