Driftboat trailer:

I grease the hubs before each season so about four times a year.

Check tire pressure/tire quality before each trip.

Check my lights before each trip.

hi pete, every year i replace wheel bearings (i know a bit to much) but for 30.00 no 2nd gussing, check lights every time, tire pressure 2, 3, times a season, on long hauls will touch the hubs first pit stop just to ease my mind, also had a buddy of mine give me so much $%it for replaceing them so often until i asked him when the last time was he even pulled the hub, well got him to thinking, then the mechanic called him and when asked what they looked like the mechanics responce was, well i have way to many parts here in my hands and don't think i can get them all back in the right place, well over 300.00 later he now checks at least once a year, never hurts to check,

While I'm asking, what regular maintenance do you do on your trailer?

How often do you check brake pads?
How often do you check brake fluid?
Do you touch your hubs to see if they're hot each time you go somewhere?
Do you check tire pressure often?
Do you check your trailer lights every time you hook up?
