Questions about Cargo Trailers behind RV
About to go on an extended cross country road trip. It will be just me and the DW. We'll be driving our 1998 26' lazy daze class c. Rv runs well and only the usual trivial things that happen with rv's...

From your other thread, I mentioned I had a 5x8 Wells Cargo and it has served us well.
I would have the MH hitch checked.
If your MH has a rear mounted spare that sticks out, you might have trouble with trailer jack hitting the MH. On mine, I replaced the jack with a HF side mounted folding jack. It comes with a wheel so you might also be able to push it around by hand.
For some security, the hitch latch has a hole in it that will take a padlock.
Anti-hitch wobble- I've tried different ones without much success. Some won't fit at all depending on the MH hitch configuration. Get one with an easy return policy.
Make sure you load cargo front heavy and you shouldn't have tow problems. One of the reasons I went with Wells Cargo, they seem to have a good rep.
Backing my travel trailer was a breeze. Backing the cargo trailer, not so simple (for me!). Some problems, the trailer is short and the MH is long. The worst is you can't see it in the mirrors and when you do, it's too late. Back-up cam helps.
Good, you're getting new tires, maybe get the bearings repacked.
