Wheel Bearings
Why do the newer cars and trucks never have to have the wheel bearings repacked but rv's still need them to be repacked. Plus why don't tt & 5 th wheel mfg. offer an odometer option on their wheel...

You can get nev-r-lube bearings that are good for 100,000 miles. We have had them for 3 years now and like them. I've been told by others that they would never have them and when I ask why I'm told that if I have a problem it's hard to get parts. So far so good, here is a web page for more information.

This is some good information. I'll look for these for my TT. Thanks for the post.
Friend has nev-r-lube bearings. Good service & happy with them, but had heard the same "hard to get" stories.
He had quite a few years & miles on his, so thought he would get a set to carry "just in case".
Stories were true!
Sooooo - for the poster looking to change over - pay attention to how long it takes to get them via UPS - or - degree of difficulty to find a shop that carries them. (for when/if they fail "on the road")
Maybe an extra set is a good idea??

I did not find the nev-r-lube bearing hard to get. I called Dexter on a Monday and had them on Wednesday.
