Repacking wheel bearings on travel trailer
We just purchased our first tandem travel trailer last May (2013). How often should I repack the wheel bearings? We probably have pulled the trailer about 800 miles so far. Thanks

Every spring the brakes and wheel bearings get checked. If we've only done a season's worth of local camping - 100 miles each way or so - they get repacked every other year. If long trips, every year. It's a messy job and DH hates it, but not nearly as bad as he'd hate to have a major issue. BTW, we always carry 1 complete set of wheel bearings and the supplies he would need to install them..if you have a problem, you can bet it'll be on a Sunday afternoon and there won't be any place open. DH figures he likely will never need it, but would rather have it handy.
We don't have a tester/thermometer/whatever to check the temp, but every stop,
DH puts his hand on all of them to make sure. Think he's going to get on of those thingys to really know.
