re-packing greasing the bearings / axle
Hello, how often should I be re-packing the bearings ? I have a 2003 forest river salem le If I don't tow it much, should I be doing it less often ? I've owned it for 3 years, only towed ...

Happy Camper, since you really don't know the history of the wheel bearing and brake assemblies maintenance, I would definitely have them serviced by a reputable dealer at least once. Price seems a bit high to me. But then I service my own and don't really know what the going rates are.
A lot more to it than just popping the caps and adding grease:
Pulling the wheels, pulling the seals, removing, cleaning, inspecting, (replacing if necessary), and repacking the bearings, installing new grease seals, inspecting the brakes, cleaning or replacing worn parts if necessary and reassembling. Of course replacements parts will be additional cost.
