Wheel Bearing follow up
As a follow up to Poppy's 5th wheel post on greasing wheel bearings, my question is how often do you grease your wheel bearings. My Dexter book says 12 months or 12,000 miles. I think that is over...

Just FYI, Semi trailers have oil filled hubs, wouldn't that be nice on smaller trailer. I pull apart, inspect brakes and hand pack the bearings every year for just peace of mind, have ran into a lot of folks on the road broke down from lack of maintenance, ruined bearings, scorn spindles, ruined hubs, etc.
I think why Dexter is recommending 12 months or 12 thousand miles is that bearings can draw moisture, depending where you live, where you drive, etc. so again preventive maintenance in my book...
Oil filled hubs are available for RV trailers. Kodiak is one that makes them.
