check all tires to include spare and make sure the spare comes down.
Trailer:
check all tires to include spare and again make sure it comes down.
check all lights
check brake away system
depending on how long between (check brakes and lube bearings)
I also just pulled my trailer out of storage and never used it last year. Set it up in the driveway for a few days. Made sure every appliance worked. Check to make sure the fridge and hot water heater worked both on gas and power. Put out the awning, changed batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, charged and checked water level in batteries, kicked on furnace/AC, and the sanitized water system.
