Then I jack up the trailer and remove the wheels and if I feel ambitious,I repack the wheel bearings. I've always done it myself and never had any problems. Good luck.

I do everything fish-A does except the trailer wheels. I just put blocks next to the tire so when they loose air and fall a bit, its on blocks. I also flush the raw water sytem with pink antifreeze, and pour some into the cabin drain so it runs to the transom drain just for good measure. Oh,, and fill the tank to the top to prevent moisture and tank corrosion. (But add the Stabilizer first)
I have an on-board charger that I plug in a couple of times over the winter, that way I leave those VERY heavy batteries in place.
Good maintence=years of service.
Its cheap insurance and peace of mind.
