Bearing buddies is most likely the wrong term. Bearing Buddies are a cap that can be filled with grease so that when during launch of a boat, off the trailer, the hot bearing, hitting cold water will not create a vacuum and suck water into the bearings.
The axles on modern RV units are often equipped with a "E-Z Lube." It also has a Zerk fitting on the hub but is more complicated.
It actually distributes fresh grease to the front and rear bearings through the spindle.
