Use your mirrors to watch that trailer when making turns. This way you don't drag it through a ditch, over a curb, over someone's hood etc.

Stay calm. Don't try to impress anyone, take your time. Check your mirrors so often you'll feel your neck tiring out. Stay calm. Remember to breathe. Most importantly keep in mind the lenght of that trailer you're pulling down the road. Stay calm.
