I have a 2005sl with several thousand miles. Can anyone suggest how long brakes last on average. Hate to run out of pad in mid-trip.

When it comes to brakes, there are no "Averages". There are only individual driving habits, terrains, weather, systems and results. I've seen brakes last 500 miles and I've seen them last 20,000 miles.......on the exact same make & model vehicle. Trailers are no different.
It's sorta like asking, "What is the average life expectancy of a male?". It may have some value as a statistic but it has absolutely zero value to any one particular human being. Brakes wear out......people die. One particular case or average has nothing to do with any other person or vehicle.
There is no substitute for yearly inspection. In some cases (like this one) averages can be dangerous.
