gotta agree with azdryheat, too much attention to bearings, although I'm one of the over attention payers.
Had a real nice condition 1985 Wilderness TT for a while (had to replace back bathroom floor due to a real slow leak over time), but rest of TT was pristine. As has been my custom first pulled a wheel and drum and found bearings with real old grease that was a little solidified. However, wheels still turned easy and the bearings were in perfect shape. Looked like the original grease and brake components were still on it. It had sat in on RV park for a long time but had been towed a lot too. So, '85 bearings still being good in '15, not bad.
Bearings were not Chinese were good ol' 'Merican. Actually what was cool that nothing on it was Chinese, all original USA parts.
