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...

Oil filled hubs are great for trailers always on the move, or that move frequently. If yours sits for months at a time it's best to use a high quality grease to keep the raceways and rollers coated. For those that sit for three months or more it would be ideal if you could rotate the wheels by hand to keep the oil dispersed. If you can't, I would stay with the factory recommendation of every 12 months. If you opt to do longer, your odds are much better if you are moving more often.
