you would be surprized how dark and oxidized the grease is when I take the old stuff out at the biging on the season. I never used to repack them very often at all, but after having an incident with my brand new 5th wheel, never packed properly or enough at the factory, I just put new grease in every year now, takes me a hour or two and 30 bucks. I also now use a IR thermomitor intermittiantly to check running temps to hopefully catch a issue before it happens, so far no issues since I started doing that. I would recomend anyone buying a brand new trailer either service the berrings or get the dealership to do it as a condition of sale before it comes off the lot. as I found out the issue I had is actualy quite comon..
I did exactly that, had the dealer check and provide any maintenance needed as a condition of sale.
