Hi, I’m Mark Polk with RV Education 101. My goal with this video is to explain all of the confusing RV weight terms and topics in layman terms, to help you make good decisions when it comes to properly matching a tow vehicle with a trailer. When you understand how to calculate fully loaded tow vehicle and fully loaded trailer weights it’s easy to determine a safe match for towing. After we find a properly matched truck and trailer, I want to discuss and demonstrate how trailer tongue weight works in conjunction with a weight distribution hitch. When the trailer tongue weight is properly distributed throughout the towing system, It is much easier and safer to tow the travel trailer.
Topics I cover in the video are:
What is trailer tongue weight?
What should you look for when selecting a tow vehicle?
Tow vehicle weights and weight ratings
How to calculate the tow rating using the vehicle’s Gross Combined Weight Rating Travel trailer weights and weight ratings
How to determine fully loaded tow vehicle and trailer weights
What is a weight distribution hitch?
How trailer tongue weight works using a weight distribution hitch
The importance of weighing your tow vehicle and travel trailer.

Welcome! I’m an over the road truck driver that hauls over night freight from Chicago to Kansas City and back. It is a boring job so I figured I would share some of the drive. Have a suggestion? Leave it in the comments!
What’s the #I trailer problem? I installed the solution on trailer #3 and stopped changing blowouts. With Tuson Trailer Tire Pressure Monitor, I know when a tire is leaking, when wheel bearings are seizing or trailer brakes are heating up. Just like new cars and trucks, the sensor goes inside the tire and the Tuson monitor in my truck cab tells me the tire pressure up to 203 PSI and tire temperature so I can see what problems are down the road.

I needed to install a trailer brake controller and wire in a 7 way connector to haul a car trailer with my truck, a 1990 C1500. In this video I take you through the process of properly wiring up a trailer brake controller and 7 way connector for your vehicle. I also show how to test and verify the circuits in case you ever need to diagnose a problem with your trailer brake connection.
