My Mobile Suites came with the Dexter system. Every or every other year I raised the RV and grabbed the outer edge of each tire and did the push pull to feel for bearing pay. Never needed adjustment so I did the grease pump method. Never a bit of grease escaped. Bearings and races looked new when I changed to oil bath system. I use AMZ/OIL grease.
All sounds just dandy , but noticed no one wanted to answer any of my questions. So I am assuming you keep pumping grease until something goes wrong .
With Disk brakes you can see if the seal fails. The design of the seal compresses to the shaft when pressure is applied. Simply pumping synthetic grease will not push past the seal unless it’s bad.
It’s a simple system but I like oil bath better. If I had drum brakes I would only hand pack.
