Yes slow down. I know people hate on California but the trailer speed limit here is 55 and you will get nailed for going any bit over. Once I got used to going so slow I like it. Feels much safer and much less rushed. The fish will be there when we get there, and the beer will still be cold.

Carry a small bungee cord (one of the real small ones with the plastic ball molded on it.) When the 7-pin connector is plugged into the truck, wrap the bungee around the plug and the truck connector spring-door which has snapped over the connecter's detent. This makes sure that the connector doesn't come loose on the road.
When unhitched, use the same small bungee to secure the wiring connector to your trailer jack or trailer frame, with the connector pointed down. This keeps it from being filled with rain or mud and prevents it being stepped on.

Keep trailer tires aired up to max indicated on tire.
load range C 6ply rating 50 psi.
load range D 8ply rating 65 psi.
load range E 12 ply rating 85 psi.
These numbers are for ST radial trailer tires. You can run LT tires but never run P rated tires on a trailer.
