Trailer Maintenance

The Well had some unexpected maintenance on the trailer. Need to fire the guy in charge of PMS. He ha blown off everything since the last time it was used. Some times it sucks being so anal. Checked lights, they all work except one marker light. Greased the wheel bearings (miss the greaseless ones on the other trailer). Made sure all wheels rotate smoothly. Checked brakes and found only the rear wheels worked. Decided to put the battery on the charger to make sure it was good and still only rears work. Hooked it up to truck to make sure it was not just how the runaway brakes worked. Nope still don't work, crawled under and found that a wire was loose. Fixed it and got one side working. Then found the same wire on other side was also loose. Figure that something got both sides. So now all four brakes work. Pumped up tires to max and realized that they were old and not good. Played the computer says we have but we already sold with Pep Boys to get four new tires. In the middle of this I took all four tires off and got ready to get new ones installed. 
Then called and made sure they had them and sure enough that was when was told that yes they had them but that they were sold. So we will see if they came in as promised today. 
Oh yea almost forgot that had to replace the roof vent. Sun had destroyed the old one on the point it was not there.

So have to do something with the trailer more then every couple years. 

Well Pep Boys called and tires did not make truck yesterday, so they claim they will be here tomorrow, hope so running out of days.
