I agree. Have not repacked a bearing EVER on any of the 3 units we have owned for the past 15 or so years. Every spring I lift the unit with the level up off the ground and pump in 30-40 pumps of grease while spinning the wheels. Check for any bearing looseness while they are off the ground.
I always touch each hub when we stop for a break of at our destination. Always cool to the touch.
Disclaimer; We only tow around 2-3k miles a year.
For those who tow a lot of miles, like 15-20k a year, I could justify being more vigilante at repacking/replacing bearings.
