Now I am really going to stir things up:
Since TTs do not have odometers on them, and the only way to determine actual mileage would be to log it off of the TV..... I surmise that nobody really knows just how many miles they go on a bearing repack..... Oh there will be some that swear they know.... But in most cases it is only a rough guess... Some guesses will be a LOT rougher than others.... So now for those of you that want a firm milage number.... How will you deal with the fact that you really don't have one at all.
Since thare are some that swear that the 12K limit is the golden rule, and they really don't know when they are getting close to it.... Better repack early so you don't go over.
While I do not know the mileage from the factory to my dealer and whatever miles they put on the unit, I do know how many miles I've put on my trailer. Our TV, a 2011 F150 has a page when you hook the trailer up that you can name the trailer, set up the gain, and it keeps track of the mileage for you while it's hooked up. I know I've put 600 or so miles on it by the dash computer.
