Axles 101

This will be a pretty quick post, but a very important one!

If you didn't know, you will need to service your axles from time to time. Under standard use (relatively short tows, about 3-4 times a year), you’ll be looking at a bearing service about every 2 years, or 12,000 miles. For full-timers that are making longer tows, and those that boondock a lot, we’re looking at a yearly service. Keep in mind, these are very broad recommendations, and there are lots of variables that can dictate when your axles will need a service. Roads, dust and dirt, mud, dirty water, and even the length of decline along your routes, so play it safe! If you think you might need it, do it! Trailer shops are typically a good place to have this done, or you can call me for a service where ever you are! Just don't wait too long or you will end up spending a lot more money!
