I've personally have seen many R.V.'s (Motorhomes) on the side of the road, or 'getting on the hook'...over many thousands of tow miles over a span of 45 years.
About T.T. owners NOT taking bearing re-grease maintenance seriously...
Very true, well said! I keep a log, and if we do 10,000 miles per year or less by sitting on the driveway, I do 10,000 miles or TWO YEARS length of time before the next camping wheel rotation, I spend the 3 or 4 hours to re and re my four bearing sets.
Totally clean, inspect, replace if worn or damaged...and then massage the best synth into the races, and cups. New backing grease seals...and all done for another 10,000,
or 2 years. With today's great top level synth axle grease, you don't have to re-grease with less than 10,000 miles of turning and rotation on those sets of bearings. Dealer's will FLOG that you have to do bearing grease over's,
every year....but at $110.00 per hour shop labor...'ya think?!?" 2 years or 10,000 miles and you will be 'right on top of 'bearing' responsibility--->
for good bearings!
