Check your RV specs. If you have Dexter Co of Elkhart, IN sealed hubs, you might have a problem. They are supposed to be self lubricated. In other words we are not supposed to grease them every 30,000 miles. They aren't. We were driving along US 90 outside Del Rio, TX and one of the wheels of our fifth-wheel Avion trailer sheered off and raced us down the road. God was with us and everyone is safe. When we took the trailer in to be repaired, the mechanic said that all of the hubs were dry and would have to be replaced.
If you have Dexter sealed hubs, watch out. They will fail you.

We volunteer with the National Parks. We have found that each town has a story to tell. We enjoy good listening music. John has recorded a CD of Native American flute music. We have learned that RVing has a learning curve. We want to pass on some advice. Visit our site at http://www.jmpelley.org
