Properly inflated tires
brakes in good working order
steering components in order
suspension, springs, shocks, etc in order
belts, hoses
electricals and lights in order
proper hitch, ball, rated for weight.
Headlights properly adjusted with trailer on hitch.


Trailer
frame in good shape. No cracks, bends, or broken welds.
Brakes working PROPERLY
Lights
Proper rated safety chains
Tongue weight 10-15% of total trailer weight
Axles and bearings in order and greased
Bunks, rollers, and bow stop in good shape and functioning

Any more suggestions?
