Maintenance Tips

  • Check tyre pressure before every tow — Trailer tyres lose pressure sitting idle
  • Inspect for cracks — Trailer tyres age from UV even with low mileage. Replace every 5-7 years regardless
  • Grease bearings — Repack wheel bearings annually or after submersion (boat trailers!)
  • Carry a spare — Always have a spare wheel and jack for your trailer
