Looking to get our 2003 5th wheel looked over and serviced. 2 axle. Specifically the hubs, brakes and suspension. Wondering what's important to have done and any upgrades to do if anything needed replacing?
Trailer is great but with its age and unknown history, we want the important stuff up to speed.
I packed the bearings when I first got it but I know it was half ass and im looking to to have a "pro" handle this.
We're in Kingman so not a lot of options for shops.
 
If you can pack the bearings you can swap parts. I'd be looking at shackle upgrades, spring bushings, hanger bracing, and hubs, bearings, brakes, drums.
E trailer . Com is my go to for all this.

As far as az , I have no idea . So cal chump here.
 
I did this a few years ago on my trailer. MORyde sells a complete kit with all new shackles and wet bolts. It comes with new hangers and just swap everything. I wish I would have upgraded to a shock absorbing shackle. I just had to replace to of the shackles on mine and bought local at a welding shop on Stockton Hill. You can also just replace the complete brake assemblies as well. As GM stated it isn't difficult to do and since yours is on a nice concrete pad just suck it up and do it.
