I own a 2003 Alpenlite fifth-wheel trailer(which I am very pleased to have). The trailer has nev-r-lube axles. I have taken the trailer in the past and had the axles checked out along with other item...
Dexter only warrants these bearings for a period of 5 years. Considering the cost of a new hub and bearing as well as possible damage brought on by a failed bearing. I will have all 4 of mine pressed out and new bearings installed every 5 years. By the way, the Dexter hub and bearing is very costly. Timken (not sure of part #) replacement bearings are much cheaper and if replaced before the hub is damaged even better to replace early.
