So, as I have mentioned, I'm going to seattle here soon (leaving in a week). I had the battery question, and I figured out how I am going to do that...I'm actually using a largeish inverter, and running a battery charger, which I know is kinda wasteful, but it will let me run tools from the truck, and it will let me charge 24 and 36 volt scrubbers in transit, which will be awesome.
Anyways...
I have generally repacked the bearings in my trailers once a year and that has been good, given that both of them get under 1500 miles a year. Well, i'm putting 6000 miles on the camper in one trip. I repacked the bearings in the spring, and I towed it about 400 miles this summer. The manual says to do it every 3K miles or twice a year. Now, i don't normallly touch my truck's front wheel bearings unless I am putting rotors on it (Which incedentally occurs before the bearings are due for maintenance...gotta love the rust belt). Jw what you guys think about holding off on the trailer until we get back. Oh, I use a synthetic grease in it as well as on the truck (I try to keep them all the same)
Thanks,
Paul
