Karen - I trailer alone a lot and found my biggest
problem was getting dopey at the wheel. For long
trips I heartily recommend visiting your local library
for a supply of books on tape - get a selection, so you
can pick the one that is most interesting and switch
if it's not keeping you interested.

Another tool that is invaluable is a jiffy jack - strong
plastic ramp that you can drive your trailer wheel onto
to change the one next to it - much better than having to
jack the trailer up.

Oh, also make sure the lug nuts on your wheels weren't 
tightened by Mr Universe, or find out how to lengthen 
your lug wrench with a long tube to give you extra 
leverage - there's nothing more frustrating than being
able to change a wheel - but not being strong enough to 
get the stupid nuts off.
