Speaking of your pocket knife, I'd stick it into any rusty patches to see
how extensive they are. Patching little spots isn't too bad, but replacing
whole panels is a bitch.
Next, I'd have a serious look at the doo-hicky that connects the wheel
assembly to the trailer itself. Look for serious rust, cracks and/or
missing bits. If you find anything that doesn't look good, find another
trailer.
Look at the tires. They should have even wear and no bubbles in the sides.
The hitch itself should be easy to attach and impossible to remove improperly.
Hook it up to your truck and test the lights.
Take it for a test drive with those hay bales and then ask to take it for a
spin without them.
The only stupid question is the one you don't ask.
Good luck!

"Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things. (I)n that
case, the made up things seem a good deal more important that the real
ones. We're just babies making up a game, if you're right. But four
babies playing a game can make a play-world which licks your real world
hollow. That's why I'm going to stand by the play world."
