  Towing Your Trailer Safely
Trailer Vehicle Hitch Weight—approximately 10-15 percent of a trailer's gross weight is designed to be loaded in front of the front axle and onto the hitching mechanism.
Park your loaded trailer on a scale so that the hitch coupler extends beyond the end of the scale, but the tongue jack post (the post on the front of the trailer which rests on the ground when unhitched) is on the scale.
The purpose of safety chains is to prevent the trailer from separating from the tow vehicle in event of hitch failure such as a hitch ball that has loosened.
