New season checks.

We got our TT last August.
It's currently sleeping in an unheated warehouse.
If a few weeks when I go get the TT I know I need to flush the antifreeze and check lines and stuff but what about the bearings?

It has grease fittings in the hubs but what do I really need to do / check?

This may sound basic but check your air pressure! They will have lost air over the Winter.

As for the grease fittings, you can pump a little in there. A lot will recommend pulling the wheels and inspecting everything and repacking.

Was the trailer new in August? If so you may not want to do anything with the bearings until later in the year - maybe even next year. I know some have said their trailers came with bearings that weren't lubed enough from the factory. When I pulled mine at the end of year 2 they were still stuffed full.

Check your batteries. Parasitic loads may have depleted them even though you turned them off for storage.

You may want to go get your battery now and put it on a charger or if you have access to electric now in storage put it on a battery tender now. Then when you officially pull out, you should check tire pressure, all you lights and pull out.
