That’s a good tip! But make sure to properly prep the surface first for the best results.
Consider applying a coat of wax or specialized trailer coating every few months to protect the finish from elements.
Speaking of maintenance, how often should we really be doing these inspections? Monthly?

I usually do a thorough check every three months, but it might depend on usage too.
That’s an interesting approach! I can’t help but wonder if more frequent inspections could actually save you more work in the long run.
Remember to clean the frame often, especially after driving on salted roads. Salt is a big enemy of metal frames!

Cleaning? You mean I can’t just let my trailer bask in the elements? Haha!
Haha! Trust me, it’s worth the effort. My trailer has lasted years because I take care of it!
If it ever gets damaged, look into welding repairs instead of replacing whole sections. It’s often more economical.
Good point. I’ve done that before, and it’s incredibly effective if done right.
Thinking back on my own trailer experience, I really wish I had started this maintenance routine earlier. It’s never too late though!
