Hi Bobbie,

Further items for your list:

air pressure in the trailer tires (tire pressure gauge?)

air pressure in the back tires of the tow vehicle (loaded vehicle tire pressure)

jack for trailer, .....just in case............ I use a 2 ton hydraulic jack - small and cheap

chocks for trailer wheels when you uncouple the trailer

For tying off halyards while trailering, I put a piece of plastic bag around the mast and then use duct tape. That way the duct tape can be cut off easily and there is no sticky residue from the duct tape.

Velcro strips used to tie plants to stakes or trellises, is also a great way to tie up shrouds and halyards, see Lee Valley Garden Catalog.

A lock for your trailer hitch, to keep someone from hooking up and driving off..........

A red rag for the end of the mast

Spare trailer tail light bulbs. Mine seem to lead short lives.

Lug wrench with fitting socket for your trailer wheel lugs (and for the car)

Ratchet tie down straps for the boat

a CB radio for communication while on the road

...........and put a dab of grease on the towing ball.

Have a good, safe, and enjoyable trip.

Connie
