Why is it that motorhomes want to repack every 36000 miles but my Jeep or Nissan has no issues with this, can someone chime in on this..
I would think it's partially because the MHs are built on a truck chassis which carrys a heavier load (yes the bearings are rated for heavier weights than cars)and the mfg doesn't always know what their chassis are going to be subjected to versus most cars are kept on the road and are not overloaded. If there are bearing or lubrication problems on a MH, it's a lot more expensive to fix than on a car so they should probalby be checked more often.
