Keep your eye on the temperature outside. Snow has different effects at different temperatures. If you can’t see the bottom of a hill, go slow until you do. If you have chains, inspect them before you use them. Don’t set your trailer brakes the night after driving through snow, but if you do make sure the wheels are spinning in the morning.

A roll of toilet paper incase you have to Hug a tree

Usually they’ll get installed and not repaired because reasons. They don’t eliminate GOAL but are definitely helpful, for liftgate/ ramp deliveries, and backing up to the dolly. I wish mine still worked every time I’m in a tight situation where a backing camera would be helpful I’ll repeat the mechanics excuse “you don’t need one”
