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 ...

The man asked a simple question.
According to OP they were packed/inspected 6 years ago so lack of factory grease is not an issue.
This and a touch temp test. Tow it about 20 miles at ~60 mph, pull over and touch each hub. If they don't feel hot to the touch you are good to go. Considering how little you tow you may never need to repack your bearings.

If I do the "test" jack them up, shake the wheel to see if loose, then turn wheel to see if it grinds, and all is good, is that sufficiant ?
