  • Are comfortable hitching up on your own
  • Want a quick pickup on your schedule
  • Like saving a few bucks

Not the Best Fit If You…

  • Would like a hand or a second set of eyes

Before You Arrive

What You’ll Need

Make sure your tow vehicle is ready to go before you head over.

A 2-Inch Ball

The self-service utility trailers need a 2-inch ball. Make sure it’s tightened down and your hitch pin and clip are in place.

Flat 4 Light Plug

Your vehicle needs a working flat 4 trailer light connection. Only have a round 7-way? You’ll need an adapter.

A Phone for Photos

Before you pull out, you’ll text or email us a few photos of the trailer hooked up to your vehicle.

How It Works

Pickup in 5 Steps

Follow these steps and you’ll be hitched up and on your way.

1. Line Up

Open the gate all the way so you have the full driveway to exit, and find the trailer on your reservation.

Back up squarely to the trailer and stop about 2 feet short. Then crank the jack until the coupler sits just above your ball.

2. Hitch Up

Make sure the coupler is open, then back up until the ball is centered underneath it. Retract the jack all the way (swivel jacks pivot up and pin in place).

Latch the coupler and lock it with the safety pin. The trailer should sit level or slightly nose-high.

3. Connect Chains & Lights

Cross the safety chains from the trailer to your vehicle, right to left and left to right. If they drag, use the provided carabiners to take up the slack (they’re only for that, not for attaching the chains).

Plug in the flat 4 connector with a firm, straight push and check that every light works.

4. Double-Check & Snap Photos

Do one last walk-around: hitch, coupler, safety pin, both chains and the light plug.

Then take a photo of the trailer hooked up to your vehicle, plus two more from different angles. Note any damage, and text or email us the photos before you leave.

5. Hit the Road

Swing wide on turns and leave extra stopping distance. When you park, pick a spot you can pull straight out of, since short trailers can jackknife fast when backing up.

Take your time, and drive safe!
