A few weeks ago I repacked my bearings and adjusted the brakes. First time since the trailer was new 2.5 years ago. All of the bearings looked new and there was plenty of grease. Except for one brake, they all looked good. The one brake had a bad wire connection and had never engaged. Good point to that is I could see the thickness of the new pads vs the pads that have been coast-to-coast a few times; couldn't tell much difference.
As for adjusting brakes, Dexter recommends every 3,000 miles. You'd think our expensive trailers would have self-adjusting brakes.
