Default And About the tires

Thanks for the feedback - I am first getting the TV ready (wired for the TM and brake controller) and then taking the TM over for a good inspection of the axle, brakes and such. I am planning to replace the current 14" tires with 15" higher load rating if I have the clearance. If not, I will at least go with the higher rated 14" for now. Etrailer has a couple of options for the 14's. The TM is currently set up as it required A LOT of cleaning and minor interior attention so I'll have to wait until I close it to look at the wheel well clearance. I will get under it today and look to see if there is a lift kit.
Question: when I have them look at the TM, besides general condition of the axle, brakes, bearings ( I will have them repacked this time) what else would you suggest inspecting?
Thank you all for your help - I cannot tell you how much the information and support on this forum helped me to go forward with my purchase!
