Before you take the trailer on a road trip. The most important part I think is the most over looked. Tires, valve stems, wheel bearings and brakes. Even if the trailer has not been on the road the tires wear out, wheel bearing need grease, brakes may or may not work right, valve stems rot. At least take tires off and check for side wall cracks, flat spots, replace valve stems with metal valve stems check or repack the bearings, look at the brakes and drums. There are other things to check yearly but, sounds like you are keeping up with with other items, mainly checking for and stopping water leaking into the trailer.
