    A good air dryer and frequent drain of the tanks correct?

    Yes,it works if you pull your own or the same trailer all of the time, or if you run out of where there is a good shop.

    How old was this trailer and how young was the mechanic that came to fix it? I agree with 25+2 and Ralph. Sounds like this trailer didn't have spring brakes. We have one of those things and if you hit the pin before you charge the trailer with air you chase it all over the yard.
