If you’re a part of a family that camps, hauls, or RVs together, you’re probably already thinking of ways to pass on that lifestyle to the next generation. No matter if your teenager is about to take their first trip behind the wheel, or you're a young adult itching to hop in the rig and head out on the open road by yourself, learning safe towing habits early on will pay dividends for years to come.

But here’s the hitch: the right lesson requires the right tools.

Teens Learn from What You Feel, Not Just What You Say

Try being a brand-new, inexperienced driver who now has to handle trailer sway at 65mph. Your hands are on the wheel. You feel a truck rush by you, and the trailer careens. You’re not just nervous, you’re terrified. Experiences like that do not inspire confidence. It builds hesitation. And that is why the ProPride 3P® Hitch makes the best gift for an RV owner. It stabilizes the trailer at the point of pivot. It features Pivot Point Projection (PPP), which leads to stable, consistent, and predictable towing, precisely what a younger driver needs when they are still learning the ropes.

Turn a Nerve-Wracking First Tow into a Confidence-Builder

There’s a first time for most teenagers to tow. Maybe it’s a visit to a state park. Perhaps, it’s pulling into the driveway after school. Regardless of where they’re headed, they’re learning to evaluate corners, lane width, braking distance, and vehicle control. With old school hitches, sway is simply “part of the program.” But that’s outdated thinking. 

So, with a ProPride 3P Hitch for a new driver, it’s all about the feel of having a single solid vehicle to negotiate, rather than feeling like they’re dragging around a wild beast behind them in the form of a trailer. That bureaucracy lends a sure sense of control that makes it easier to keep in their lane, to stop on time, and to steer straight, without the sudden corrections that can be necessary.

Safety Is for Every Member of the Family, Not Just the Driver

A lot of us tow with our families in the truck or trailer. If they’re in the driver’s seat, you want to know they have every safety advantage available to them. You probably already have taught them about seat belts, mirrors, and turn signals. But let’s compare that to towing protection. Without advanced sway control, a trailer can go rogue—especially in crosswinds, on undulating terrain or around tight turns. It’s that Zurichness that leads to so many first-time towing accidents.

By taking that variable out of the equation altogether, ProPride puts your young driver in a controlled environment to practice and grow behind the wheel, without endangering their life or the lives of others.

Give Them the Best Habits From the Start

Driving habits form early. If your teenager’s maiden towing experience is overcorrecting for sway, overcompensating for poor weight distribution, or wrestling the wheel against high winds, that’s the kind of experience they’ll remember. Instead, teach them that towing can be peaceful, smooth, and easy. 

It All Begins With A Hitch: A New Standard in Towing Safety

If you are proud to pass on the RV or towing lifestyle to your kids, make sure you are giving them the tools that keep them safe. The ProPride 3P Trailer Sway Control Hitch doesn't just raise the bar, it sets it at a level other products can't reach. Build their confidence. Protect your family. Pass down the ProPride to the next generation.
