Bearing Buddies?

Hey I'm sure it's been answerd before but here it comes again........... How often do you need to repack your bearings if you have a Bearing Buddy on your wheel and you add greese often.  I'm sure I am fine since I only put less then 200 miles on my camper last year but should I repack em any ways.  What is the normal frequency to repack with bearing buddies in other words

You should pack them every 1-2 years, but that's with more use than you are using. Translation: You should pack them EVERY year if you are traveling so few miles. The grease settles to the bottom while sitting. Also, when you repack, it allows for bearing and race inspection. Bearing buddies are good for trailers that go into the water, like boats, but even they need repacking and inspection.

The bearing buddies are irrelevant.

The less you use your trailer, the more often you should repack (but more than once a year is probably unnecessary).  A trailer that is used every day could probably go 20,000 miles between bearing repackings.
