Yuck! 16" of snow this week! Can't wait for Spring and hitting those trails again!
Just bought our trailer last spring and have cleaned it up for winter storage, but are there any other maintenance issues we should attend to at this time or before we head out for the weekend trail rides next spring? (Not a living quarters, just a comfort package) Thanks for any suggestions! Hope everyone has a rockin New Year!

Check your lights, brakes and tire pressures including your spare. Inspect your tire side walls for weather checking. Make sure your valve stems are not pinched or cut and the caps are installed. Check your wheels for any damage or bent rims, and that all your wheel lug nuts are in place and not loose.
Put a little lube on the various door and window hinges and latches. Check your breakaway brake wire, emergency brake battery and connections, safety chains and hooks. Inspect your hitch for proper operation and lube any moving parts. Make sure you have all the spare equipment you will need including a wheel lug nut wrench and a means of jacking/lifting.
When this is done, the most important thing is to enjoy yourselves.
