   There are more expert people to comment on this but the 4th is coming fast.
Have you had the wheel bearings greased?? 

That I believe should be done annually if the trailer is used much, and you need an infrared thermometer to monitor the bearings' temperature, especially if you can't get the bearings greased before leaving. 

I hope you have a small compressor to inflate your tires to proper pressure.

	Hi, We have a 2015 Rpod, which we got new back in April 2015. We have been towing it to campgrounds 1 to 2 hours away from home every other weekend during the last 2 summers. This week for the July 4th long weekend we will be towing the RPod to Acadia Nation Park with our 2017 Traverse. It will be a 5.5 hours drive from home to the campground. Before we head out for our first long drive camping trip, is there any maintenance on the tires or axle we should do? The only thing I have done so far on the Rpod tires is inflate them when needed. I have not done anything with the axle.
