By As a trailer host, your goal is to make every rental seamless and stress-free. Ensuring your renters have everything they need to hit the road can make all the difference in their experience—and lead to glowing reviews for you! Here’s a list of items we recommend you keep on hand to set yourself up for success when renters arrive.
Trailer Host Must Haves:
1. Electrical Adapters
Not all tow vehicles have the same electrical connections. Keeping a variety of electrical adapters (7-pin to 4-pin, 5-pin to 4-pin, etc.) ensures that renters can quickly connect your trailer’s lights to their vehicle without any hiccups.
2. Hitch and Hitch Pins
Sometimes renters arrive without the right hitch size or lose a crucial pin during their journey. Having a few standard-size hitches and extra hitch pins ensures no one gets stuck.
3. Low-Profile Ramps
If renters use your trailer for vehicles or equipment, they may need ramps to load and unload. Low-profile ramps work best for cars with low ground clearance, preventing unnecessary stress or damage to their vehicles.
4. A Quick Overview of Your Trailer
Consider having a laminated checklist or QR code linked to a video showing renters how to connect, tow, and use your trailer safely. This adds convenience and professionalism to your service.
5. Small Toolbox
Even the most prepared renters can forget small tools like wrenches or screwdrivers. Keeping these on hand allows you to help them out in a pinch.
Why It’s Worth It: Showing up prepared sends the message that you care about your renters’ success and comfort. A smooth start to their rental experience means happier customers and better reviews—leading to more rentals for you!
