PLAN ON TOWING CROSS COUNTRY? BEST LEARN THE BASICS FIRST

- 

HIS arrogant attitude would give anybody a bad name under any circumstance, but as he was towing a trailer across the Simpson Desert and he was bogged in the middle of a wet claypan - just exaggerated the fact that many people believe trailers are a pain and should be banned. Most of all, said people believe those towing trailers should get out of the way of 'real' four-wheelers who don't take trailers anywhere but are, at the same time, experts at towing and trailers in general. I'm not one of them, and I'm sure I'll ruffle a few feathers with my stance.

For the last 40 odd years, I've been towing trailers whenever we go on a long trip, whether that is in the desert country, along a beach somewhere, in the Victorian High Country, or any place in-between.

Thinking about it, back when I was in the Army I was towing trailers through the desert in the 1970s, so that makes it close to 50 years of experience with trailers in all sorts of environments.
