winter driving
Hi everyone. Did a search and did not find anything about 5rs in the winter. My question is, what do I need to do for winter? Turn the trailer brakes up, down or don't touch? I am heading down...

Sounds good.
I was hoping that it was just a case of extra care.
I like my trailer, but don't like the idea of watching it try to pass me heading through the hills.

Check regulations in the states you are planning to travel through. I know here in the far west drag chains are required if you have to use chains.
X2 to both of these, if chains required, most states will require you chain one axle on the trailer (drag chain), without these the trailer can easily slide into the next lane.
This is when 4X4 pays for itself not to travel faster, but at a cautious speed you have FAR more directional control when the front wheels are driving rather than being pushed!
You have likely seen this picture before, but a bit of a surprise on the trip home from the coast three years ago. SP have traffic stopped on an good uphill grade, we had not chained up, had no issues getting going once traffic was allowed to pass.
