To the OP, be aware that some repeatedly come on here boasting about their lack of maintenance, comparing automotive systems to trailers. ...
And exactly what is the difference between the two systems? The last time I looked at the front wheel of my Dodge truck, it was a Timken-style tapered roller bearing, just like what is on my trailer.
And some of us are not "boasting about lack of maintenance" but rather discussing sensible alternative maintenance intervals. IMO, shared by others I might add, is that the 1 year or 12,000 mile repacking interval is simply a CYA by the people involved in building these trailers, and trailer assemblies.
