The Problem

You've Done It a Hundred Times. That's the Problem.

When hitching up gets routine, steps get skipped. A pin you meant to put back. A jack still down. A breakaway cable clipped to the chains. Chains that drag. Brakes nobody tested. Most towing scares don't come from not knowing what to do. They come from being rushed, distracted or tired on travel day.

Pilots don't trust memory. They use checklists. Your truck and trailer deserve the same.

The Solution

One Checklist for Every Stage of Travel Day

The Tow Day Command Kit gives you one clear, step-by-step checklist for every stage of travel day, plus a log that keeps your maintenance on schedule. Print it, keep it in the cab, and use the same steps in the same order every trip.

Who It's For

Built for Bumper-Pull Travel Trailers

  • 1/2-ton truck owners towing a travel trailer
  • New RVers who want a system from day one
  • Experienced RVers who want to stop running it from memory
  • Couples and families who want both people on the same checklist
  • Weekend campers who tow just a few times a year and forget steps between trips

Not for:

Fifth wheel or gooseneck hitch-up procedures (the kit is written for bumper-pull travel trailers). Not a weight calculator either. For the math, use the Towing Limit Pro app.

FAQ

Questions, Answered

Is this a physical product?

No. It's a digital PDF delivered to your inbox that you print yourself.

How many pages is it?

25 US Letter pages: cover and how-to-use, a 2-page hitch-up checklist, a 2-page weight-distribution worksheet, a 2-page departure card, a 1-page arrival/setup card, a 4-page maintenance log, a 10-page Storing Your RV section, a disclaimer page and a Towing Limit Pro app page.

Will it tell me if my truck can tow my trailer?

No. The kit covers setup and checks. For payload, tongue weight and GCWR math, use the Towing Limit Pro iPhone app and your manufacturer's ratings.

Does it include torque specs or tire pressures?

No, and on purpose. Those numbers differ by manufacturer. The kit has fill-in spaces so you can write your own specs from your manuals.

Does it work for fifth wheels?

Many departure, arrival and maintenance items apply, but the hitch-up checklist and WD worksheet are for bumper-pull travel trailers.
