Hitching Your Trailer
55Anyone who has a boat or trailer that they might have to take with them to various places needs to have the necessary parts and instructions. For many of us who have never hitched a trailer it can sound difficult - but it is easier then we might think.
The first thing you need to do is jack the trailer up so as to give yourself plenty of room to install the trailer hitch. Depending on the car you might find it easier to loosen the bumper or exhaust system.
Follow the instructions carefully when installing the trailer hitch, drawbar, pin, and clip. Make sure not to tighten any bolts though because you need to test it out first to make sure that it fits.
Drill holes into the frame of the truck using the hitch as your guide. Make sure that these holes are not more than 1/16 inch thicker than the bolts that will attach the hitch.
Use C-clamps to attach the hitch to the frame and secure it tightly. Now you will be able to tighten all of the bolts into place. Afterwards you just have to hook up the right electrical connections so that the brake lights and turn signals will show on the trailer.
