Wheel bearings
What is so different with RV wheel bearings that they have to be packed at least every year or two. My truck and car does not require this yearly maintenance, why does the RV axles??

Who told you that have to be packed every year or two? Did you read that on the internet?
The trailer was a year old. I put 6 pumps of the blue marine grease through all 4 zerks (or whatever they are called) on the hubs, then set off across the country and back to Utah-about 8,000 miles. The hubs ran consistently cool (checked with IR gun). So, I am not worried about the bearings.
