Anyone know of a website or someplace where I might get a picture of the wheel bearings on a 5th wheel trailer?
I know there would probably be several types... but I have to grease the wheel bearings on mine and cannot find a picture.
I have a sunnybrook 2001.
Thanks

IMO 80 is not too high for four wheels. And it does not have to be an RV place. Any good auto mechanic can easily do the work.

Thanks guys.... Just what I needed.
80 is definitely not too high to do it. I got an estimate today from a dealer and he wanted $187 for all 4 wheels.... which was why I was looking for the pictures.
Thanks again.

If you want your bearings done right, do them yourself. It's really not that hard, especially if you can take your time and do one side each day. I don't have that luxury because I store my RV and can't leave it parked in front of my house for too long. Also, if you want to do it right, get rid of the Chinese junk bearings that your rig likely has and replace them with some good American made bearings. That's exactly what I'm going to do the next time I do my bearings. JMO. Etrailer is a good site but those bearings are made in China. Maybe they have others.....

I have always heard that Timken bearings are one of the better brands. I assumed that they were American made but I may be wrong. That's most likely what I'm going to use next time.....
