Grease all grease points and change and grease bearings every 15,000 miles
Check tires for nails
Have a spare! When buying, consider asking for one to be thrown in as a bonus. We know how important it is to have one after we got a flat with our older trailer on the freeway. We actually got 2 spares after that.
Check lug nuts about every 100 miles
Have a tarp so stuff won’t fly everywhere, something else that can be asked for as a bonus for buying
Use the right hydraulic fluid, straight -30 in winter so it won’t freeze. We like that it comes in different colors so you can notice if it leaks
Don’t overload (even though it seems cool to see what it can do) it could void your warranty!
The more stress put on it, the more it gets beat up over time, but it could last 10-15 years. Salesman said personally he saw a piston go out at 10 years old.
You can do a Undercoat underneath, BUT don’t do inside, unless you like velcro!
Wondered if we could upgrade the pump… Nope! The axils are already rated.

Wondering some ways for Theft prevention? A coupler lock, wheel locks, and a tracker may help. But having insurance may give some relief if something does happen!
Surface rust is often but maybe fluid film or other compatible paints can help.
Always remember to pin back doors or they could end up being ripped off! The salesman said that could be about a $2,000 mistake!
