I was advised long ago to have my new trailer wheel bearings "re'greased" as the rigs come from the factory with little or no grease in them.
Given this information, I ignored the advice and waited a couple years as we didn't use the trailer much.
After that, we retired, so I had new tires (old ones aged out) and had bearings checked. Guess what....I was lucky. I actually saw the bearing when they were removed. Barely any grease was on all 4 sets.
My trailer was brand new back then....2002 Jayco Eagle 5th wheel.
Getter done!
