I just bought a previously towed Saturn '98 wagon, blue ox avanta II and patriot brake.

I forgot to ask the seller for a step by step hook-up and disconnect
for the Saturn.

The Rv dude did it so fast and my bad.. I didn't write it down, nor
when I disco'd did I wirte it down.

I'm looking for maybe someone has done this and uses a check-off list.
I am '63 single so I have to do this myself.
Also, how to line it up and get close.. thought of measureing and using a 4x4 to have front wheel against when I drive up to hook up.

Any ideas appreciate.

RV dude is a bit far away and seller didn't have anything. just did it
for many years.

I just don't want to miss something.

Thanks,
1997 Allegro Bay 35' Chevy
1998 Saturn SW2 Wagon, Automatic
Blue Ox Aventa II, Patriot Brake

Every setup is different.

Spend some time going through it once very slowly. Check everything. Then check it again. Then write your own list, and do it the same way and in the same order every time.

After you've driven the toad up a couple of times you'll get familiar with where to stop in relation to the coach. My Roadmaster has a good 12 inches of flex in the towbar arms, so I assume yours is similar.
