Bearing Buddies are used on boat trailers which do not have brakes. They are used to push out any water that got past the seals.
Travel trailers use E-Z lub axles and they are a disaster waiting to happen.

You should never use them unless you don't care if your brakes get covered with grease. You need to remove the drums and inspect your bearings and brakes. Short cuts lead to big problems.
