I'm up North where the winter is pretty harsh so I like to put my trailer up on jackstand's and grease and turn the wheels so I don't get rust spots on the bearing races, everything else would be a ditto to what Rick said, wiring lights, lube the the leg at the front of the trailer, and a little dielectric grease in the wiring harness connector......

Ditto on the Ditto, but I believe all the newer trailers have oil bath bearings. I changed the oil in my 05 trailer hubs last fall given I personally had put several hundred miles on them and who knows what the previous owner did. Turns out the oil looked just as fresh as the new oil. I still plan on checking the oil level each spring, mid summer, and fall, but will probably only change every 2 to 3 years. Anyone have any different recommendation?
My 08 trailer says they are "supposed" to last 5 years.
The only other thing I seem to have to deal with is staples for the
carpet on the bunks. Mine is only a year old, but I have had to
add staples 2 times now (stainless steel staples) - as I have noticed
the carpet sagging.
