Some tow practices we use.
1. For me, a rear view camera is essential. Without it I can't see the towd at all.
2. I try to fill the MH while the towd is not attached. Our routine when leaving a campsite is for me to fuel the MH, my wife takes the car, picks up breakfast or groceries and we meet in a large flat parking area.
3. Unless absolutely sure you can make it, do not try doing u-turns!
Have a designated box or bag for all the straps, pins, locks etc. you need for hooking up. Include a check list and a pair of work gloves.
4. First few times, instead of a few miles before checking, I would check after a block or so. Give it a firm braking then check all the attachments, car and dolly.
