Wheel bearing repacking

How often do you repack the RV wheel bearings? I'm getting many different opinions on this question.

I don't have a set time for mine. Probably every few years or so. My trailer probably gets pulled under a thousand miles a year. So in reality, I'm probably repacking every 2-3000 miles. This is way less than the 30,000 miles that my old cars wanted.

I repack my bearings every fall before I park the TT.  I also carry my IR thermometer and check my hub temps every morning after about 50 miles of travel.   If I have a warm bearing, I can repack it right away.  It would not take me very long to strip t down and repo it.  I do carry a pretty good tool kit, jack, and stand.  I have never had to do it on the road.

We put 3000 to 10000 miles on annually.
