Here is an easy way to tell if you need to pack your bearings. I do this almost every time while I am on a trip. Drive your trailer for a few miles. Stop and feel the bearing cup. If it is hot you need to repack the bearings like now. Be careful when you feel the bearing cup it can get very very hot.
And don't forget to bring along extra bearings and maybe an axle in case the spindle is ruined. Also pack plenty of road flares, cleaning solvent, an air compressor and fire extinguishers. :W
