When I think back to the days of the daily driver with front drum brakes and roller bearings, I wonder why people were not obsessed with greasing bearings every 200 miles, especially on something they drove 12K, 20K, or 30K miles or more per year and depended on to get to work or take momma to the hospital if she was ready to pop one out. But with a trailer for some reason, greaseobearingphobia seems to be the norm, at least on RV or camping related boards. More power to you if you want to self develop OCD over bearings, I'd rather go fishing and drink cheap beer. The cheaper the better.
I'd rather be a responsible adult and recognize a problem and correct it. I still have a 39 year old van with the original made in USA bearings that I repacked three times. I also have a travel trailer that the cheap junk Chinese bearings failed in one season. My suggestion is to not give advice if you cannot or will not properly explore the issue.
