Trailer Tires

Eventually, this blog post will become much more detailed.  For now, we want to mention  the necessity to carry these two items:

1)  A small, accurate, reliable digital tire pressure gauge.  Here is the one we use.  It's available at Wal-Mart for under $10, including tax.  Stick gauges are worthless.  Get a digital and keep it handy.  Check your tire pressure EVERY single time on each and every day before you get out on the highway.  NEVER pull away without checking your trailer tire pressure.  If there is ONE single thing that can keep you safe towing a trailer, it is keeping your trailer tires are the precise recommended air pressure.  It is as important to trailer tires as breathing is to humans!

2)  A high volume air pump.  Do NOT buy a pimpy little $10 air compressor used to inflate children's toys.  They are totally worthless.  Buy a real high volume air compressor.  The best deal on such a device will always be at Harbor Freight.  It is the unit we have carried for years and we simply wouldn't leave home without it.  Period.  Ever.
