Yep, it is time for you to think about the inspection of your trailer for the new season that is just around the corner. Unfortunately, many snowmobilers who own a trailer forget to do a complete inspection before the snow comes. When the snow starts falling, trailer workshops are overwhelmed with appointments and the waiting list is quite long.
Prevention
To prevent this kind of situation, contact the trailer workshop closest to your home to make an appointment. This will surely help you avoid surprises during the season and having to cancel your ride.
If you do not do the inspection, you might save, but why take the chance?
Inspection
Here are the components that are verified during the inspection of your trailer at a certified retailer. Please note that if you have the place and equipment to do it yourself, follow the 7 steps below, and your trailer will be ready for the new season.
1- Check the securement system to vehicles
2- Check the lights and wiring
3- Check tire condition and adjust the air pressure
4- Clean and lubricate ball bearings
5- Check and lubricate the suspension
6- Check the general structure and accessory
7- Lubricate moving parts (doors, hinges)
For the modest sum of $150 to $200, I strongly advise you to deal with professionals in the field. This will avoid you having to do it yourself and guarantee the work done.
