bear service, Alko axles
Our 2013 Passport 3220BH has Alko 3500 lb axles under it, we bought the camper used last year and the dealer said that they had "checked the bearings" as part of their multi point inspection of the camper prior to taking delivery. We live in Wisconsin and the camper was previously titled in Washington, so we don't know how many miles are on the camper when we bought it but apparently atleast a couple thousand to get from WA to WI then we put on about 1000 last year.
We have a trip to Mount Rushmore/Black Hills planned for this summer so i was thinking about having the bearings serviced. I talked to a local equipment trailer dealer who I trust and I have bought trailers from. He said $250 to disassemble, clean up, inspect (bearings, races, spindles) pack bearings, inspect and adjust/replace the brakes and reassemble. He said that he stocks all replacement parts that could be needed, if any.
Do you think I would be having unnecessary work done? Does anyone know what the recommended service interval is with Alko axles? Any recommendations?
