Anyone have any good resources on checking brakes, and lubricating the bearings on a Rockwood Roo? Got my Roo last year, in July. I'm thinking it is time to check these...before our first trip, this weekend.

Any advice?

Thanks,

I have a Roo 23b. After two years of use, I decided to get the bearings repacked. I wasn't having any problems, but reading several posts here convinced me that it would be a smart thing to do; you know the saying about an ounce of prevention?

I took it to Camping World. They repacked all four wheels and adjusted the brakes for $79.90. For me, it was worth the price. Even if I knew what I was doing, it seems a reasonable price to pay to avoid the hassle of doing it myself.

I have our dealership go through the brakes and repack the wheel bearings every spring.
