I recently purchased 2005 Komfort 271FS. I am new to the RV world and began reading the mountain of information and manuals. I have a question on the greaseable wheel bearing system on this model. The manual states that you pump grease into the hub zerk and the grease travels through the wheel bearings and out the front of the hub. Is this a viable way to grease the wheel bearings or just a gimmick. I understand the workings of bearing buddies and these seem to be different with no spring tension to pressure the grease. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
