You left off a key part of my comment.

As to the myriad of RV forums, well.......

But for conversation, I had MOR/ryde IS and disc brakes installed on our 2010 Cyclone while still at the dealer, so less than 5 miles on the original hardware.

MOR/ryde ended up installing the wrong IS (7K) at that time and 4 years/22,000 miles later
MOR/ryde replaced it with 8K IS. Non china Timken and CR parts used

At that time the bearings, grease, seals looked as good as the day they were installed 4 years earlier.

I would agree any towable should probably have bearings at least checked within the first year.
