I agree, question how often do you re-pack your wheel bearings on the Truck. I think ever two years is fine. How many miles do you tow your 5th wheel. The most we have ever done is 22,000 miles in one year and checked the brakes and wheel bearings and they were fine. However bearing adjustment is critical and should be checked yearly. You don't have to remove anything to check the adjustment on a wheel bearing. Just raise the wheel off the ground. We have had never lube bearings and I never added grease, you have to be very careful not to pump to much grease in, the seal is very fragile. And if you don't raise the wheel off the ground when you do put grease in you will more than likely add to much. And once you get grease on a brake shoe they have to be replaced. GBY....
