Do not take the RV anywhere till you have jacked up that wheel and checked for excessive play and roughness. If you find that, have it repaired on the spot.
If you would have removed the wheel and pried off the hub cap, it wouldn't have been damaged so much.
Thanks for all of the responses. Iโm going to leave it where itโs at (next to my house) and inspect it there. I picked up some red grease from HD. Iโm not sure how to tell if anything is bad and needs replacing, but Iโll Google it or post back here with more questions.
Hopefully, the red grease you mention is Lucas Red-n-Tacky. If so -that is a great grease for trailer wheel bearings.

I would definitely replace the rubber cover and check out the condition of the bearings. It's possible, albeit unlikely, that the bearings have gotten hot and liquefied enough grease to run out and coat the wheel. Whatever the problem, deeper investigation is in order.
I would like to know how you people can say anything about the bearings from the pictures shown.

That metallic color looks like a serious problem.
