GO User Guide
Basic driving and towing information:
The GO camping trailer was designed to be extremely easy for the rst time tower. To quickly
set-up, use this simple checklist.
Towing checklist:
1. Hitch receiver: The GO coupler is designed to t onto a 2” ball. Make sure that is what
you have. Make sure the ball is tight and that a proper engagement has been made. The
handle will drop and the indicator will show a “+” symbol when proper engagement has
been made.
2. Electrical connection: Check the connection to the tow vehicle to ensure a tight t.
Check the lights to make sure they are functioning properly (including brakes and turn
signals). Make sure the cable is not close to or dragging on the ground.
3. Safety cables: Connect safety cables properly by crossing them under the trailer tongue
and fastening them to the tow vehicle chassis or hitch receiver. Make sure there is a
positive connection and that the clip is fully engaged.
4. Swivel jack: Be sure the swivel jack has been raised to a position horizontal to the
tongue and the spring clip is properly engaged, to lock it into position. Make sure the
Swivel jack caster wheel is rotated away from the hitch, toward the back of the trailer.
5. Stabilizer jacks: Make sure all the corner stabilizer jacks are retracted
(horizontal / parallel to the ground) and locked into traveling position.
6. Latches, pins and velcro straps: Walk around the GO and inspect the front storage box
latch, the four ring grip pins on the rack/frame, the 24” velcro strap securing the tailgate
and bed platforms, and the control-tilt set pin. Make sure they are all secure.
7. Winch handle: Securely stow winch handle into storage box lid
8. Tire Ination: Make sure that your trailer tires are properly inated.
Keep in mind that careful attention should be paid to avoid damaging the GO, your car, or
people. Drive on a low-trac road and get the “feel” of your GO. Remember to allow plenty of
room between your vehicle and those in front of you. Don’t make sudden, jerky turns or stops.
Practice making turns to see if you need to go wider than you are used to.
Once you are comfortable going forward, turning and braking, practice backing up. Backing
should be done slowly to avoid jack-kning the GO and damaging the hitch. Remember, when
you are backing up, the trailer will move in the opposite direction you are turning the steering
wheel. Have a friend help you by spotting the trailer movement.
