My family is planning a trip from northern NY to central Illinois in late June.
About 850 miles.
The plan is to take my 1/2 ton pickup and 15 foot travel trailer.
I have thoroughly serviced the truck, changed all fluids, new brakes, new clutch, new belts and hoses.
I am also in the process of servicing the TT, new brakes and wheel bearings. Just replaced the tires and the spare last fall.
Planning on bringing a tool kit and a good jack.
Any tips on things I should be doing to prepare for this trip?
Or just general tips for a long trip with the TT?
This will be my first long trip with the trailer, until this I haven't been more than 60 miles from home with it.
