Is it really necessary to repack at 30,000 miles, I would think if the motorhome sat for years than yes but 30,000 miles and 5-6 years old I have never seen or heard of a problem, I would just wait till its time for front brakes..
This is a question I struggle with too. According to our manual we are due for a repack since we're now running our 4th year, even though we've only got 20, 000 miles on the rig. But when I read around the forums I see many people waiting until much later. There doesn't seem to be much consistency on this.
Preventative maintenance never hurts anything. You're going to pay either now, or later. If, by doing it a bit "a head of time" (depending on what, if any, schedule you have)you not only take care of it but, you may head-off any possible issues that may increase in damage by the time your "Schedule" is up and you then dive into it. I'm not saying or guaranteeing you'll see or find anything if you take it on early, chances are, you'll find nothing out of the ordinary.
But, due to the weight these bearings support and the stress they're under, even with normal driving situations, they have an ugly life to live. If, you're not the type that does your own work, then it's up to you to have it done when you choose. You'll pay now or later.
