Back up bearing kit
My local farm store has replacement trailer bearing kits by timken. I would like to get a kit to carry with me as a backup. They have a 1 inch, 1 1/4 inch, and a 3/4 inch kit. My seals are 2 1/8 inch ...

OK, I'm new to RV owning, and maybe I missed something here.
We're all talking about changing hubs/spindles/bearings on the side of the road, after an at-speed failure, when we have the spouse/kids/pets all going crazy about "where are we? what happened to the trailer? what are you doing? when will we be going again?"
Talk about steely nerves... For me, there's a time/place for roadside assistance, and this seems like one of them.
IMHO, of course. YMMV, as it quite possibly does.
Keep your bearings packed like your owners manual says and you shouldn't have any problems. I have never had a problem in the past 20 years with bearings.
