I wouldn't bother unless your changing out the bearings. Even then why do it when the bearings are replaced as they are now good to go for 25k miles? Now if your one of the few that puts 10k miles on motorhome in a year it might be worth it.

I figure it will take me 10 years minimum to put that much mileage on the motorhome and I am not so much worried about the next guy that gets the motorhome.

It makes me think about my grandmother whose advice I like to follow. She said "I never save new linens and towels because I don't want the next woman to enjoy them."

If you put in the zerk then squirt in some new grease you stand the chance of popping out the seal and causing unnecessary problems and possible damage especially if you don't realize it. I was told that the problem wasn't the bearings as much as the seals which wear out and allow dirt to enter into the bearings that causes the most problems.

Then again, you will be supporting the regular vendors which is a good thing.
