- Troubleshooting Tire Wear Down Middle of Tread on Trailer
- Generally speaking, a trailer tire will wear in the middle of the tread when it is over-inflated, however that does not appear to be the case with the tires on your trailer. With that being said, I do not recommend lowering the pressure on the tires to below the maximum psi recommended on the sidewall. Doing this will essentially lower the tire's load capacity to an unknown number, which may lead to you overloading them and causing further damage to the tires and trailer. A trailer tire...

- You used terms that are not compatible. You have a 5th wheel hitch which will have pin box with a king pin which is very different from a pintle hitch and lunette ring which would be a bumper pull industrial style trailer.
For your pin box, it is likely that there is not enough weight on the pin box which is likely partially due to the kayaks on the back even though they are light but your entire trailer is light so it does make an impact. You can move more weight toward the front...

- The problem you're having with Curt Wiring Harness # C56106 on your 2012 Toyota Sienna could be the converter box but first check the ground connection. Make sure it's grounded to a clean bare metal location on the van's frame. Since it worked before it's probably in a good spot but might just need to be cleaned which is an easy fix.
If the ground is good, you can test the converter box to be sure that's the issue. Use a circuit tester like # PTW2979 and test the yellow wire before...

- Those additional lights that are not working ground through their mounting hardware. So you would run power to the single wire and then if it's not grounding currently you can run a ground wire from main harness to the mounting hardware and that will allow it to work.

- If the tires on your CE Smith Multi Sport Boat and Kayak Trailer # CE48810 have some play then that would definitely be contributing to what you're hearing. If the lugs are tight then this means that your spindle nut needs to be tightened down as you shouldn't be able to see any movement with your hub.
Tighten your spindle nut until you don't have anymore play and then back it off to the next notch. This should take out the play you have found as well as the weight noise you are hearing.

- No, it is not normal for seals to go bad that quickly. Typically if your hubs are spraying/leaking grease, it is because of a bad seal. From what I could find, it looks like your Malone Microsport trailer has a 1.98 inch diameter hub. The correct replacement seal would be the Double Lip Grease Seal # 34823. I would recommend replacing the bearings and seals on both sides using the Bearing Kit # BK1-100.
To grease the wheels you can use LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease # L11390...

- The tires on the Yakima Rack and Roll trailers # Y08106 and # Y08107 are indeed specified for inflation pressure of 40-psi. To lose about half that pressure after a year-and-a-half of storage is not at all surprising, but for the two tires that lost all of their pressure I suggest some further testing before you embark on your 2400-mile trip.
You did the right thing by inflating all three tires to the specified 40-psi pressure so you can keep an eye on them for a few days. If they hold...

- There isn't anything unusual about the 1998 Ford Explorer or the 2007 Ford F-150 that would cause the right side trailer lights to not work. there are some things you can check though to determine if the issue is indeed on the vehicles or on the trailer.
First though it is possible for a trailer to work fine with one vehicle but not another even if there is no problem on the vehicle or trailer. What can happen is if there is a dirty or corroded trailer connector, some tow package wiring...

- Since there are no pins for where the F107 and F109 fuses would install it makes me wonder if maybe a dealer installed an aftermarket wiring harness like the Curt # C56407 which doesn't require those fuses to operate. This kind of wiring kit tees in behind the tail lights and then draws power for the trailer lights directly from the battery on your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler.
With that being said, since you said you don't have those lights working on your trailer the first thing to do is to...

- In most cases when you are having a malfunction on the trailer lights the culprit is usually a grounding issue. Since the trailer running lights or clearance lights are continuously in use, a weak ground or loose connection somewhere in the wiring can cause these lights to malfunction.
Make sure to check the main ground wire for the trailer to see if there is any corrosion or if it has come loose. A poor ground will be noticed more on the running light circuit because of its constant use...
