The answer here, if you have a standard drop plate, leave it fitted. If you have, on the other hand, a unit which is very low, then either consider removing it, or be prepared to pick your route carefully so as not to let it 'plough' the ground.

Whilst checking this area, it's not a bad idea to make sure the trailer electric socket is installed as high as possible to avoid damage. Apart from being fragile units, if one gets ripped off, you will have live wires hanging down at the back. You will either blow fuses or cause sparks near the fuel tank! If you are going to do some serious off-roading why not tape over the hinged cap to keep the mud and water out. This will save you a lot of problems later when you go to connect up the trailer or caravan electrics.
