All types of trailers, from boat trailers, campers and horse trailers to 18-wheeler rigs, and everything in between, must have proper lighting before heading out on the road. As the United States Department of Transportation's (DOT) National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has strict requirements for trailer lights, check the trailer's lighting system to ensure everything complies with federal laws before heading out on the open road.

Before you tow your boat down the highway, be sure you know all of the laws and regulations concerning trailers. The laws regulating the private use of trailers, including trailered boats, are determined by each state, and there are some key differences in those regulations state-to-state. Your first step should be to research the laws for your state and any other states in which you may be towing your boat. This information is available from your state department of transportation. more

The best way to know your trailer weight is to take the boat and trailer to a scale at a truck stop.

For your own safety you need to make sure your tow vehicle is capable of towing your boat. The weight of the boat and trailer is also considered in some towing regulations. The vehicle owner’s manual will have a chart indicating the maximum trailer weight and the Gross Combined Vehicle Weight (GCVW).
