Hi Lisa,
Some other things to consider:
Trailer
light connection, if your connection doesn't match, you can pick up an adapter at most auto parts stores
Safety chains, have safety chain to car link that can be secured like a threaded link, this keeps the chains on, hooks
fall off
Sitting that long, take or get extra
light bulbs and a bit of emery cloth to clean contacts
Tires including spare and tire wrench and jack, even if the seller says they are O.K., check for cracked sidewalls and even adequate tire pressure, also check tread wear, if the inside or outside are worn the spindles or
axle could be bent
Crawl under the trailer and check the frame, if it is straight with no breaks or bends great
Check the wheel wells, there should be room between the tire and wheel well, have the seller get in the trailer, the
axle arms should move up, just watch the tire in relation to the trailer shell
Get a trailer ball lock, this keeps the hitch from coming loose and along with a receiver lock helps to deter theft
Hope this isn't too much. Be safe!
