Good suggestions. I was saying that I do the hookup, and then my wife take a visual afterward to see if I missed anything, not that we work on it together.

My wife and I split duties at the trailer door, she does the inside and I do the outside, and we don't bother each other. Works pretty well.

We use a written list and verify each item on it.

Yes, I should make a pre-tow checklist.

I had to saw about 3" off of my jack because of my driveway grade. This has not presented any problems. My wife and I both do checks before trailer is moved. I also have a routine and list.

Save-A-Jack would not have been practical in my case, and it would not have been practical in a case where someone forgets to lower the jack before taking off. It is good if someone wants to get the jack out of the way of a truck tailgate or SUV lift gate. Otherwise, it is more trouble than it is worth in my opinion. It means that I would have to find a place to stow the jack I removed from the tongue instead of it just riding there.
