Make sure your tires are not more than a couple of years old.

My wife cousin and I are planning a 7,000 mile road trip across the west to see as many landmarks as possible, we’ve only done overnights at places 150 miles or less from home. So this will be quite the adventure!

Watch tire psi and wear. make sure you can repack your bearings every few thousand miles

Some good advice here. The best is the tires. Also check your spare.

Check your propane tank pigtails for wear and leaks. Use a soapy water solution for this. Nothing like a slow leak to drain all your propane away (Speaking from experience, it sucks).

Check that your heater, water heater, stove, etc all work. Especially equipment you may rarely use.

Smoke and CO2 detectors. Make sure they work.

Good first aid kit with nothing expired.

If your trailer has a braking system (may not), get it checked and consider recalibrating with your truck’s brake controller.

Get some spares – light bulbs, fuses, and the like. Especially if you are unlikely to find it in a local parts/hardware store.

Good luck and enjoy the road!

It may sound dumb – but stop and get out and walk for a bit every few hours. Your body will thank you!

KSman1966:

Pull your tires, drums, inspect the drums and shoes, might not be a bad idea to replace the magnets while you have it all tore apart, then clean, check, and pack your bearings, and adjust your brakes after you get it all back together. Get an infared temp gun and check your trailer bearings every time you stop for fuel.

Enjoy your trip, have fun.
