A
cross country trip with your good 'ol trailer does sound adventurous
and the last thing you need is a road breakdown that could soil one
of the greatest trips you'll ever make. To keep the trailer running
smooth and well-maintained, you can start by giving it a nice wash on
a regular basis. Use warm water and a special soap suitable for the
auto finish. Don't use high-powered pressure washers as they may
degrade your trailer's body. Remember to rinse the undercarriage as
well to prevent dust build-up on the vital moving parts.
Dirt
that accumulates on your trailer can bring friction and damage. To
keep your trailer parts working, grease them first or keep them
lubricated, especially those that come in contact with other parts,
such as the ball hitch, the winch, the wheel bearings, and many
others. If you need to replace any of the corroded or damaged parts,
you may do so immediately to prevent road accidents.
Tires,
on the other hand, play the most important role as they keep the
trailer balanced and functional. To ensure a safe trip, make sure
that the tires are well inflated especially if they've been unused
for quite some time. Air pressure should be maintained, as well, as
tire leaks air over time.
