If you purchased the trailer but didn't use it for your business, don't enter it as a business asset until the year when you place it into service. You can't enter a start date beyond the end of the current tax year.
The additional expenses you incurred to make the trailer usable will be part of your basis in the trailer when you enter it for depreciation.
