bearing grease and shakle grease

How often do you grease your wheel bearings and wet shackles on the new montanas.

I'm a recreational RV'r ... I don't pull much over 3000 miles a year. I clean and repack my wheel bearings every other year. I grease my shackle bolts twice a year.

We are full time, and we (I) have been greasing shackles every 6K and the bearings every 12K We started out using the grease fitting on the axles at 6K, jacked off ground and turning wheel as grease was applied as recommended by Dexter, but after finding a couple of wheels with grease on the shoes, it is now all hand packed bearings. $4/each wheel seal and some grease is a lot cheaper than replacing the entire assembly. And the labor is pretty cheap
