Probably a silly question but I don't have the handbook and google isn't much help!

I get my trailer serviced every year, and it does short journeys a couple of times a month. I'm going to do a tidy up today and check air pressure and put some grease on, but I'm not sure of all the bits I need to grease! I'm not taking it apart to do wheel bearings etc but do I do things like springs?
 
There is a grease nipple on the brake assembly to the rear of the hitching point.

Some grease on the cable where it goes into the cable cover won't do any harm.

Go round all the door hinges with your oil can and give them a squirt as they do seize up.

I also put a rub of grease on any catches so they work nice and smoothly, also grease or oil on any moving parts of the brakes (but not inside the drums).

There's a diagram of the braking system here:
