The warm weather is approaching and with it the desire to get back on your Comanche and get lost in nature. If you are one of those who travel with your trailer attached to the car, You can't forget to do a tune-up before hitting the road.
- First of all, Check the trailer axlesMake sure they are well greased. The axles are the main elements of the trailer, as they are responsible for supporting the towed load and guiding the rotation movement. In addition, thanks to their suspension function, they help you drive with greater comfort and safety. We recommend that you check them at least once a year.
- Check tire pressure to ensure good road grip. Tyres are one of the most important elements of a vehicle. Under-inflation would cause greater rolling resistance, and therefore, less safety and a loss of control over the vehicle. On the other hand, over-inflation would reduce road grip, causing vibrations and less comfort.
- Check that the wheels of your trailer are in good condition. Make sure the wheel bolts are tight.
- Check that all the car lights function properly, especially if you are travelling at night. Check the parking lights, dipped beam, main beam, fog lights, brake lights and turn signals.
- Make sure that the header is well greased to prevent friction between the ball and the coupling. The trailer hitch is the mechanical system that attaches to the chassis of your vehicle. Its proper maintenance is essential for safe towing.
- Before starting the journey, we advise you to Open the Comanche and ventilate it well. Also, if the trailer is already a few years old and you want to waterproof it, use fabsil to waterproof the tarps.
