"I" check mine about every 7 years or so. I haven't "packed" them in about 14 years or so. I put about 5K a year on my trailer so about 30 to 35 thousand or so. The bearings always look fine. It's the brake magnets that I'm seeing that are worn out.
I use a good quality grease and use good quality bearings and forget about it after that. In the many trailers I have owned and towed in over 35 years I have never had a bearing failure.
With your good "LUCK", you should be in Las Vegas on the dice tables:)
