TRIBE always suggest to check the lugs before you travel and after you set up the basecamp. We suggest using a "torque wrench" to a 10 ft Lbs. When you first receive the trailer do a complete inspection and before you travel tighten up the wheel lugs. After the first 50 miles check them again and tighten them up if they are loose. You always tighten them up in a "STAR" pattern.
