[A/S] advice on first trip

[claudette beaulieu <cjbeau@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't had a chance to thank everyone individually who responded to 
my request for advice for the first trip (all my free time has been 
devoted to stocking the A/S and practicing hooking up & driving), but I 
really appreciate the advice that was offered.  I've used some of it 
already in my practice tow sessions.

I am so new to this that I'm very likely to make a dumb mistake - like 
today's.  I was puzzled why the trailer seemed to be pushing the truck 
at stop lights, and I pulled over into an empty parking lot to adjust 
the controller, only to find the brake controller was dead.  I had 
lights and brake lights.  Turned out I had not pushed the plug in far 
enough at the bottom, and that was just enough not to have a connection 
between truck and trailer.  Won't make that mistake again!  Just very 
grateful nothing bad happened....
