According to our dealer's service manager, who I trust, no more than two squirts once per year, whether fulltiming or not. We've adhered to that rule and it's worked for us. I also take the rig to him every other year to have him repack the wheel bearings and check the brakes.
Just curious. You ever get any old grease out around the zert? We seldom travel, so I've never worried about lubing the wheel bearings. But, my tandem axle boat trailer has the EZ lube hubs, and I completely swapped the grease in them a few days ago. Took a little over a tube to get fresh grease coming out of all four hubs. Old grease showed no sign of contamination.

Only reason I'll ever pull the hubs on the RV is for brake inspection. I trust the EZ lubes, and I've run vehicles for tens of thousands of miles without re-packing the wheel bearings. JMHO
