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 ...

I just don't understand why the interval on automotive bearings is so much higher. My 1994 Chevy pickup front bearings (2 wheel drive) where repacked in 1999 with 100 k miles and were fine. I did them again in 2013 at 200 k miles and they were fine. Now have 205 k miles on the original bearings with just grease and new seals ever being changed. I know the truck is not as heavy but the bearings are smaller also. If many of the big trailers on the road had to repack every 5 k miles that would be every 2 weeks for many and yes I know most run oil hubs. I can get this for boat trailers but how does an rv trailer need service every year?
