Master Tow Dolly and greasing bearings.

I've never owned a tow dolly, but have purchased many types of new trailers. In most cases, on mine, the dab of grease used on the new bearings, was minimal at best. The sooner you check/service new ones the better. After that, depending on amount of use, a good greasing of the bearings, should last several years, but certainly more than 600 miles.

My dolly is 10 years old and bearings have been greased once. Probably used 5000mi or more this year alone. I also have a 1999 Pace enclosed trailer that has probably been towed 1/2 a million miles and has only had bearings greased once as is my 2013 Featherlite, once. I don't exactly recommend this but its what has happened.

Maybe they meant every 600 days.

Ok yeah I was really worried for a bit and it didn't really make sense that I would have to grease them like every other trip. I'm a full time Rv'er and I will move like every two weeks or a month. I started this about 2.5 months ago so I'm new at alot of stuff. But yes 600 miles seems a bit overboard. Any help in indicators I will need to grease them?

At the very least, I'd pull the cap off, to see how much grease is on the outer bearing. If heavily greased, you would expect the inner bearing to be too. A lot of piece of mind, once you KNOW they have been serviced properly though, the very first time.
