Questions about Cargo Trailers behind RV
About to go on an extended cross country road trip. It will be just me and the DW. We'll be driving our 1998 26' lazy daze class c. Rv runs well and only the usual trivial things that happen with rv's...

Also consider the fact that the braking requirements for trailers vary according to what state you are in. some states require brakes on trailers over 1500 lbs. unladen (empty) weight, some require brakes if the trailer is over 3000 lbs. GVWR, some go by the actual weight of the trailer.
My personal choice would be the smallest tandem axle trailer, with brakes, I could find. If at all possible, I avoid single axle trailers, although my little ATV trailer is single axle.
IMO, "Bearing Buddies" are marginally acceptable for boat trailers, but not a good thing for any other trailer. I would not use them. Trailers with grease fitting on the spindle end are good IF the lubrication instructions are followed EXACTLY! One little mistake could result in a blown seal and a big mess. An annual or biennial inspection and repack, replacing the seals, is a good idea.
Have a good trip.
