Once a year is a safe interval, but might also be overkill depending on the amount of mileage during that year. My seals were beginning to bypass early on, so I like an initial check even when new to check seals, amount and quality of lube, bearing adjustment and integrity of the brakes. After that, depending on miles towed, I think every other year is a pretty good schedule. This, of course, is if you do the work yourself, verifying that it was done correctly. If you have faith and personal knowledge in the guy doing the work, then proceed as you feel comfortable. I just haven't had good luck taking my vehicles to a repair facility, even the factory trained dealers. Miss adjusted valves, over serviced oil, leaks induced, paint scuffed and so on...not to mention the expense.
As usual, FWIW, YMMV, etc. applies.
