Our previous trailer had the cables that were routed to the
tanks in the enclosed underbelly. There is something that I have been able to
do to lube the cables.

You can buy something called a cable lubricator, and a can
of cable lube. You simply attach the lubricator to the end of the cable, push
in the straw for the pressurized can of cable lube and spray. Motorcycle
dealers sell these items.
The cables of the trailer were actually larger diameter than
those of a motorcycle, but I was able to clamp the lubricator on and it worked
fine. Because the can is pressurized it forces the lube through the cable to
the other end. I could actually here it make a bubbling/fizzing sound in the
underbelly.
This may work for other people to get their cables smoother and
as general maintenance for the cables. If anyone does this wear eye protection
and put a rag over the lubricator/straw, it can get forced out and on you.
