What's the fascination with trailer bearings?
So I've seen many, many posts over the years about checking hubs with IR guns for excessive heat. I've even seen posts where people check their hubs every stop. :E My question is why? I have never ...

I am not trying to be a troll and start something, I do check my bearing and tire pressure when I travel. Why because everyone says you should. But if you ask them why you should they tell you because everyone else says you should.
But it is funny, a number of months ago an almost identical thread came up about tire storage and it took several pages to get to fact when someone posted Michelin's official statement on how to store Trailers with ST tires.
I am genuinely curious about the answer and I have no opinion on it at this point, and having a lot of people say "just do it" is a good way to get an answer, but I always like to ask why before I decide.
But after 3 pages of opinion that you should do it. I only saw one person actually answer the OP's question "Why?" He said that maybe it is because of the type of bearing. Is there anyone who can confirm this to be fact or outline the logic of why it could be fact?
Thanks
