Leave the Driveway With Every Critical RV Safety Check Covered.

The Tight vs. Loose Pre-Trip Inspection Worksheet is a printable, reusable digital download for first-time RV owners who need a clear way to verify every critical safety point before towing.

How It Works — Walk through each section and make one judgment at a time: is this part properly seated (tight) or does it need attention (loose)?

🔩 Hitch Pin & Coupler Check — Verify the hitch ball is locked, coupler is seated, safety chains are crossed, and the pin is fully inserted. Each item gets a tight/loose mark.

🛞 Tire Review — Check pressure on the tow vehicle and trailer against specs. Inspect tread depth, sidewall condition, and lug nut torque.

🔌 Electrical & Brake Connections — Confirm the 7-pin connector is seated, running lights respond, brake lights fire, and the breakaway cable is attached.

⛽ Fluid & Cargo Security — Verify propane valves are closed, tank valves are set correctly, and cargo is secured inside.

🔁 Repeatable Pre-Trip Routine — Print and reuse before every trip. Complete it five times and the routine is second nature.

The Outcome: A steadier pre-trip routine. Fewer forgotten checks. A clearer sense of what safe looks like before the rig moves.
