Greetings all! As NASA driving season approaches, I was wondering if y’all had some pro-tips on good things to have in the trailer. I’ve got a 2012 Tundra Rock Warrior for towing and I’ve had the Haulmark since ~2013. New tires about a year ago and both are stored in-doors. I’ve got a full sized spare for the Tundra and for the trailer. In the past it’s just been anchor points for the ITR but I’ve been thinking about how to better use the space. Also maybe figure out how to now have to Dukes of Hazzard my fat *** in and out the driver window *laughs*.

And any trailer maintenance advice is very welcome. I think I’ve got about 7k total miles (not able to line up all the weekends of track time I want).

All advice is welcome! Thanks in advance!

 

I dont have an enclosed (yet) but I do tow with a tundra... things i keep at the ready.
1. Get a "Trailer Aid" and set up a dedicated tire changing "bag."... its usually where i keep my impact, sockets for the trailer and truck, and a road flare/triangle setup.
2. you are up north... make sure you can actually get to your truck spare and it come down from its location... i keep the race jack close enough to the bag and at the tail gate of the truck for quick work.
3. All the guys that have tundras that tow in our regioin... they have the TRD rear sway bar, some have bags or an add a leaf, and they are all on 5100 Bilstein's or some Eibach setup now.
4. the only guys i know that dont "dukes of hazzard" out of the window have the large hatch door built into the side of the trailer AND they have wood blocks to stop the car in the same spot every time (and to raise the car door over the fender)
5. assuming you are at 7k axles on the trailer (most 20ft are this way) AND you are towing with a now smallish gasser... weight and balance of your trailer is key. i spent a weekend balancing my open trailer (and how i put things in the car and truck bed) with taking trips to the local scales.
6. All the enclosed guys carry 2 spares for the trailer... they seem to be harder on tires.
7. The guys also sleep in their trailers... so they have mini split AC systems, shore power, LED lights... AND most of their stuff is on rollers (roller tool cabinet, wheel dollies, etc.) to make space ASAP and to pack up quickly.

i could probably go on for hours ... like if you have easy lube axles, carry your lube with you and an IR temp gun... shoot them every time you stop for gas (and we know you have to stop with the Tundra)... I lubed them every stop on my haul from VA to LA and back to get the new car.
