Trailer and camper maintenance

[mudnut]

I can't remember if I've even pumped my tyres up since I bought my trailer.

I did fit a remotely switched reversing flood light though, powered by a small battery charged by a 10w solar panel on the toolbox, pretty nerdy.

That is the problem with trailers and such. They get forgotten until needed. This is the first time I've had trouble with towing as I usually drive for a few ks then stop and check the temps. (For some stupid reason, I forgot to do it) I also change the grease after 12-18months. The handbrake cable U bolt was loose enough to let the cable slide a bit when I reefed on the handbrake at the site. Just another dodgey thing to add to a long list done by the bloke who sold the van to me.
