Not sure I understand the issue. I have worked as an ASE master tech for a Mazda Volvo dealer (granted not an RV dealer) but still.
If a trailer sits for 5 years and has 50 miles on it, there is no reason to lube the axles. The lube doesn't go bad or leak out.
My trailer gets a squirt of grease every few trips. My boat trailer gets a shot every outing, but it sits in water for 8 hours at a time.
The issue is not always with preventative maintenance or dealer not willing to repair something. Many times a part will just flat out fail !!!! In that case who are you gonna blame?
It is called life. Things happen in life. If your kidney fails, who are you gonna blame?
You can buy a brand new car and have a part fail in 2 weeks, or have that same part last 25 years. It might not be anyones fault.
There is no info on this thread if the OP had to pay or if it was covered. Either way it is not a "disaster".
Blaming an entire rv manufacturer for an axle bearing going bad is crazy. They don't make the axle or bearing, they source it from someone.
