RV Wheel Maintenance, What You Need To Know.

Once a year? Can I do it 15 times at once to make up for the last 15 years? :-)

Sad to report that a few days ago, a guy was towing a 5th wheel a few miles from my house, wheel came off and went across highway hitting an suv coming opposite direction, killing the passenger. The guy kept driving completely unaware this had happened. Tighten nuts, check for rust, visual inspections, etc. I know this is probably a rare occurrence but it does happen.

Excellent video! Note to all; The best way to replace the metal bearing cap/cover is using a rubber mallet. Use light taps and it will go back on without denting.

Couple of things: Make sure you use the correct type of grease - the type of wheel bearings - not chassis lube. Also, if you have the Dexter EZ-Lube axles, you will not get the seal out with that puller- they have a double seal and are a bear to get out (and back in). Lastly the importance of brake adjustment is that the magnet can in the drum only move so far. if the brakes are so loose that the shoes don't contact the drum at the end of full swing, you won't have brakes....

The absolute best how to video of any nature on YouTube. Well done!

Thanks for the electric brake explanation. I’m learning about RV’s and didn’t know how they worked

Hi Jarod, love the simplistic nature you attack the repair videos with...straight forward and keeping it simple. It seems that the new bearings now a days, come packed and ready to place, so wondering if downside to just replacing bearings and raceways (2, 4, or 6 sets - and since you probably need to have some extras to start the job anyway - and only once a year, so cheap insurance)... also saw a comment on replacing with disc brakes, they could always check out Mark/Tricia KYD had video on with cost if I remember right. Thank you for all your straight forward, wonderful advice!

Jared, this video was excellent!! Thank you!!

Thank you for the refresher. Love watching your videos. Full timers, based in South Florida!

Thanks for showing me what I pay someone else to do! Great job. I'm thankful for folks like you who can do this stuff, but I can't.

To the point, and very informative. Thank you for all your great content!

Excellent video! Gonna check my trailers before the season starts!

What an excellent video. Love the explanations of what you're doing while showing it happening

Excellent video. Very much appreciate the time and effort to share your knowledge.

Making it look easy. Thanks Jared!

I've watched a lot or RV channels. A LOT I'm on youtube 10 hrs a day. This is the best bearing grease video I've seen. You earned another sub.

I appreciate this video. I am experienced with vehicles. But appreciate your RV video. Keep educating the masses. Great work.

Recently had a well-reputed RV tech repack and replace bearings. After a few hundred km, the hubcaps and grease caps fell off. I will be doing my own bearings from now on. Thanks for the video.

Thank you for doing this video, now I hope it warms up soon in Wisconsin, so I can get it done.

Hands down THE BEST video you’ve produced thus far in my opinion !!! We ALL need to know how and actually do this every year !! I’ve needed to since owning my rig but I’ve been reluctant. So thank you so much for taking the time to do this and I look forward to more “maintenance” type videos from you in the future... I think imo maintenance videos are so valuable because we can always go back to them and rewatch them if needed. So please keep up the great work and kudos to you on the editing also. Overall awesome video !! Safe travels
