Well with 5 trailers 1 30 ft airstream every 5000 mi Small 15 ft camper bearing buddies but dont over grease to blow out the rear seal, 2 flatbeds for hauling wood every 2 yrs ( approx 1-2k miles) small jet ski trailer converted into a 4X8 ft box trailer bearing buddies. To keep the heat problem away from 8 in or 12 in tires fill them with nitrogen. It dissipates the heat. Old drag strip racers trick. Though I hear nitrogen is getting pricey cause its now the "in thing" with new cars.

I spun a bearing on my airstream and welded the inner race to the spindle. 6 hrs in 95 deg heat and I chiseled it off. Wont do that again. Ant sign of marbling or wear on the bearings and I replace everything,races and all. And use a good grease if its going in water a good silicone grease is great.



Hope this helps
