When to return to lane after passing.
I have towed many different trailers in the past. But, my current trailer seems to be the hardest. When I passed a slower vehicle on interstate, I was not sure if I was cleared and had enough distance...

I usually have someone in the passenger seat when towing so I have them study the mirror to let me know when it's safe. A passenger doesn't have to watch the road so they can get a closer look.
Turn your signal on when you are close to merging back over to prevent someone behind you in the passing lane from trying to squeeze in and pass you on the right. Also, by turning the signal on shortly before you are going to merge might get some astute drivers to flash their brights to let you know its safe to merge. I try to do that any time someone towing a trailer is trying to merge in front of me. Truckers are generally pretty good at doing that because they are in similar positions as us and understand.
