Check the floor with a knife for rot.
Mats should be in good shape, with nothing to catch feet on.
Chest and butt bars at the dividers and center boards should fit snugly.
There should be no sharp edges inside.

Inflate tires to the pounds of pressure listed on the tire.
Be sure brakes are working properly and adjusted for your loaded weight.
Make sure the ball is properly sized for your trailer.
Make sure the trailer sits level when hitched.
