Wheel bearings When to repack
Is repacking based on miles or time. I repacked them about a year ago and we have only traveled about 3000 miles this year. Just trying to give my back a break if possible. Thanks Ray

I just recently checked the bearings/brakes on my 2012 Sabre 5th wheel for the first time mainly because my break controller was giving errors of current overload on the trailer brakes. When I took the first drum off I discovered the issue and that was there was no retaining clip on the brake magnet and it was constantly rubbing on the drum and the magnet was in bad shape and one wire was broken. After repairing the issue I did the 3 other wheels and guess what the retaining clip was missing on those as well, there were signs of some ware on the magnets but not bad enough to replace at this time. I called a couple of trailer/RV shops to get replacement clips and they were in some ways saying that the clips are not really necessary but from my point of view the clip keeps the brake magnet just off the brake drum not to wear it down during travel IMHO. Just thought I would pass this on to all you fellow RV'ers.
Cheers.
