Well, you have pretty much zeroed in on what you need. The order is not important as they ALL need to be done. You know about the tires, if they are older than 4-5 years replace them, no matter what they look like. 15" would be a priority for me. The brake controller operates the trailer brakes, without one no brakes. We can argue all day about a WDH, but simplest test is to measure bottom of wheel fender top to ground front and back without the TM. Drop the TM...if the back drops more than the front by more than 1/2" you need one. Chances the back will drop and the front will rise, hurting both steering and braking. Hey, no one said it would be cheap!!! And don't get lulled by that old "we don't go far" argument. Most accidents happen close to home...
