what causes trailers to break down while driving?
I've seen many trailers on the side of the road with one axle in the dirt where it looks like the tire hub broke off. What causes this? I'm about to take my boat 850 miles road trip and I'm wondering what I can do to make sure this doesn't happen to me.

What causes trailers to break down while driving? America will be last country to switch to Euro (antichrist's world currency). Aborted babies burn in hell for 33 and a half years; if pregnant, keep the kid and deliver at home because kids are chipped using ivs and vaccines in hospitals. Dentists and doctors chip patients secretly. Ultrasound leads to mark of the beast; don't do ultrasound, please. Abortion leads to breast cancer; a demon is released from hell for each aborted kid. Dogs can become possessed; don't keep dogs inside you home [Pelageya of Ryazan]. Walmart has technology to administer mark of the beast to those who have cat bacteria in their stomachs; stay away from cats [Afanasiy Sidyachiy]. Next false flag is the Statue of Liberty. Earth is flat; stands on 3 pillars (the Most Holy Trinity); pillars stand on water at zero Kelvin. Zodiac is planetary prison of demons; don't believe in horoscopes or you'll exhibit the traits of the trapped demons. Most thoughts and dreams are from demons; demons never do good. Sleep fully clothed; pray the Jesus prayer. Pray to your guardian angel to have normal sleep. Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov was the last prophet before Enoch and Elijah return to preach against the antichrist. Humans were created about 7525 years ago.
Birds participate in time creation. It's a sin to kill birds. Dinosaurs live under our level; they will get out through sinkholes and lakes; to kill them, go for their nerves. Save the birds; but kill the dinosaurs. First dinosaur will come out of Volga River in Russia. Demons grow human skin (from a sample taken during abduction) and put it on so as to look like us. Demons will invite people to be healed inside their UFOs; those who go will be like zombies after. Gov't provides demons with diamonds and allows demons to abduct people. If you're being abducted, slowly pray the Jesus prayer.
Don't panic. Demons use diamonds and souls to power their UFO craft. The bigger the diamond, the more it lasts. Demons have 4 UFO bases: 1)moon 2)inside fake mountain Kailash in Tibet 3)in lake Baikal in Russia 4)in Atlantis which is underneath the Mariana Trench in Pacific Ocean. There are no aliens. Nobody lives on other planets. Airplanes that go down are hit by demons because they need the airspace to fight Jesus. Antichrist is pale with red eyes. He's possessed by Satan since he's 12 years old. He flies. He wears gloves to hide long nails. He's surrounded by demons who appear as angels of light.
Don't go into a UFO to be healed by demons. Green 666 is given by isotope rays on wrist or forehead when people stretch hands to receive small plastic grey card with no name on it (World Passport). Police will microchip and isotope ray people on highways. Chipped people will be influenced by computers to take grey plastic card; but when they do, green mark by isotope rays is given on forehead/wrist. Food stores will isotope ray people too. Antichrist will also release prisoners to mark people. Reject 666 at all cost because it leads to permanent hell. If you're about to be marked, pray the Jesus prayer. Hide with Orthodox Christians to escape 666; leave all electronics behind so that antichrist's minions can't track you; burn documents because they're from Satan. Give to charity in the name of Archangel Michael; he rescues people from temporary hell twice a year (or brings them up a level, that is, to a level with less punishment; eventually, people are freed). Feed the pigeons; when pigeons bow down, people are saved from temporary hell. Forgive me.

Usually its Bearing failure...You should Pack the wheel bearings about once a year...WITH A GOOD HIGH TEMP GREASE !!! A good high temp grease will be VERY thick....If your not sure, as to how its done properly, I recommend taking it somewhere like, Sears, Goodyear, Midas, etc. Have them check the Seals, Bearings, & Bearing Races, for flaking of the metal finish...On Axles that dont have Brakes, it shouldnt be much more $60 or $70 per Axle.

Install a set of "bearing buddies" that have a grease zerk on the spindle caps and keep them well greased. Also, bring along a spare set of spindle bearings with a large adjustable wrench and a grease gun in case you need them on the side of the road. Check the spindles for heat buildup every time you stop for fuel and add grease every 500 miles or so. Boat trailer bearings need regular periodic service due to the fact that they are submerged in water constantly whilst you transition the boat from the trailer. When adjusting the spindle bearing thrust, tighten the castle nut until there is drag, then back it off until the wheel spins freely at the closest castle nut alignment to the spindle arbor lock pin hole, many failures arise fast when not doing this critical bearing thrust adjustment properly. You should repack the bearings before you hit the road for this 1,700 mile round trip!

They had a flat and no spare or they haven't properly serviced the wheel bearings on the trailer.

The issue with a lot of trailers is that they never get any maintenance. Hub failures are routinely caused by seized wheel bearings due to lack of lubrication.
In boat trailers wheel bearings should be repacked at the end of every season. And it's not like it's hard to do either.

Poor maintenance. Expecting to park the trailer up for the winter or a long time and expecting it to just work without checks and maintenance. Pulling the trailer with small wheels too fast.

In MY experience, the most common problem on a trailer is under inflated tires that overheat and shred. People get in a hurry and leave on a trip without checking the tire pressure. I've been guilty of that myself also.
I once pulled into a filling station for gas and noticed one of the tires on my trailer was a shredded mess. Lucky it was a two axle trailer.
Another less common problem is wheel bearings that haven't been greased for MANY years failing.
Most trailers spend a lot of time sitting unused, so people usually neglect care and maintenance.

Lack of maintenance.( cleaning and putting fresh and plenty of grease in wheel bearings)
Also overloading the trailer.
Another thing to check condition of tires and use correct air pressure.
