Wash the salt off your trailer before storing it

Here's another big one. If you decide to take your little teardrop south for the winter and you end up driving on our salty roadways, wash it off before you store it. Salt is deadly on any surface, including aluminum if left over the wintertime. It will pit the aluminum. It can be polished back to a new look again, but it is a lot of unnecessary elbow grease, when all you needed to do in the first place was wash off the salt after a long road trip.
