Pulling my Toad for the First Time!! Couple of questions

We have a 2012 CRV that we tow. Along with what everyone else has said I also visually inspect the tow bar, pins, tires, brake system and safety cables every time we stop for gas or rest stops. I also carry a spare set of pins for the tow bar in case I would loose one or one would get damaged. Also I keep my backup camera on all the time while towing so I can keep an eye on the toad. I've never had an issue (and I hope I never do) but you never know when something could happen..
