800 miles is a pretty good distance to be towing that trailer I would def make sure the wheel bearings on the trailer are greased really good, the truck just make sure all of you fluids are topped off have a spare tire and a spare cps and you will be fine. Also check out the roadside help network in case something happens. We probably have somebody close to your route. Have fun with it.

Make sure you have a spare tire for your truck AND the trailer. A jack would probably be nice too (if you don't have your factory one)...

Have fun!

Jack.. jumper cables...Sockets.. breaker bar.. grease.. oil..aintifreeze..brake fluids.. spare fuel filter, CPS...

Do you have bearing buddies on your trailer? They are a life saver.. I highly recommend them.
