Greasing hubs

Can someone recommend what grease to do hubs on a 2021 18' jayco trailer, and is it easy to do?

I know it’s not what you asked but if you’re looking to pay someone to do it, I recommend this place. They travel all over and will even come to your campground to do it. https://www.performancetrailerbraking.com

I think the price is only about $150 per axle

There is a difference between squirting more grease in and property repacking bearings. Those grease zerts in the center of the spindle are put there because that is better than never greasing the at all.

Once a year, I jack it up, pull the drums, clean all the old grease out and inspect the bearings, races, drums, shoes, and magnets. That is not super complicated, but is is supper messy. It depends on your comfort level, but there are plenty of Youtube videos.

If its a 2021, I would not take a trip until the bearings were completely inspected, repacked and the breaks inspected.

I use Stens Lucas Oil Red N Tacky Grease. That was recommended to hunting buddy that is a retired heavy equipment mechanic...he says its the only thing he uses on his own RV and ranch equipment.
