Material I need to move Travel Trailer

Hello, everyone. I recently bought a travel trailer and I am new to all of this so please bare with me. I bought a trailer a little sooner than I would have liked but it just was the right one.

Now, I don't have the proper materials I need to be able to move the trailer if I need to just even move it to the left. My brother in law has a truck that I can use but I don't have any of the materials to do so. I want to have everything if god forbid there's a fire in the area.

The trailer has a tongue. What are the tools I need to hook to the truck. I have been researching online but many people are using different things and I am getting confused.


I have a 2002 Trail Lite R Vision.

    your question is a little confusing, "Move it to the Left"? How far left?
    Are you wanting to use this as a means of escape? First thing, you'll need a hitch on your BIL's truck, with the appropriate sized ball, if you're going to haul it any real distance, a weight distributing hitch would be real nice, if you're just moving it a few miles, you can get by without that.
    How long has this thing been sitting, is it on blocks, pads, or something else, or just sitting on the ground?
    Have you checked the tires?
    There are a lot of variables.
    Also, are you considering getting your own truck in the near future, i only ask because if the need to escape arises, what happens if BIL wants to escape at the same time?
