Wheel Bearing Maintenance
What is the maintenance schedule for wheel bearings on 5th wheels and Travel Trailers? At what milage intervals should they be removed and repacked?

Depends on whose advice you listen to. :) Dexter usually says 12,000 miles or yearly. Some people do theirs yearly, others every two years, etc.
Personally, from what I've seen and read many hubs are almost thrown together and damage to the sealing surface can result. I checked mine for the first time at 6 years and around 20,000 miles, and they were fine. I think, with a double axle I might check the hubs initially and if they were good I'd go 3-4 years, depending on the mileage.
