Towing notes (state-specific)
Nebraska does not require trailer brake controllers under 3,000 lbs GVWR — most TT/fifth-wheel rentals carry them anyway.
Sandhills two-lane roads (Highway 2) are scenic but narrow — fifth-wheels should plan for slow speeds in the Sandhills.
Big Mac summer weekends fill 60-90 days ahead.
