Why would you remove the brakes from the backing plate for a wheel bearing problem ? And it looks to me that there is a grease fitting on the end of the axle shaft for the ez lube axles . Cant tell for sure . Unless it was cleaned , that spindle looks awful dry to me .
From the OP's blog...
As we pulled into our RV site, we noticed the rear left wheel on our Crossroads Zinger Travel Trailer was at a roughly 30 degree angle - obviously not a good sign. Since we pulled in late on the night of the 3rd, we didn't contact a repair service until after the holiday on the morning of the 5th. When the repair tech arrived, he examined the wheel and let us know that our wheel bearing had failed and that the wheel itself had burned through both the break pad and drum. He said we were lucky to have made it our campsite.
