Every owner of a trailer should do an ANNUAL once-over of all systems. If it is something you feel you should pay for, then by all means do so. I would look for a better deal....$500.00 is way to much.
Keep in mind that, money aside---You should still be able to do a basic "walk-around" before each trip. It would still be beneficial for you to have a basic understanding of the onboard systems.
