  • Rv Maintenance is extremely important especially the maintenance for your wheels and brakes. Here is a guide to maintaining your travel trailer or 5th wheel. It is recommended to re-pack your bearings once a year or every 12,000 miles and to adjust and inspect the brakes at the same time. I can't say that we have been on the schedule for this maintenance, I'm probably closer to every 2 years. If you are interested in the RV tools we used to do this maintenance or the products we used just use the links below.

    Once a year? Can I do it 15 times at once to make up for the last 15 years? :-)

    Sad to report that a few days ago, a guy was towing a 5th wheel a few miles from my house, wheel came off and went across highway hitting an suv coming opposite direction, killing the passenger. The guy kept driving completely unaware this had happened. Tighten nuts, check for rust, visual inspections, etc. I know this is probably a rare occurrence but it does happen.

      In Oakville Ontario Canada, a boat trailer wheel just came off in October 2022 killing the driver of an approaching vehicle. Folks - keep your bearings properly greased and services, AND, make sure you install a cotter pin!!!

  • @hgoff5617
    @hgoff5617 4 года назад +15

    Couple of things: Make sure you use the correct type of grease - the type of wheel bearings - not chassis lube. Also, if you have the Dexter EZ-Lube axles, you will not get the seal out with that puller- they have a double seal and are a bear to get out (and back in). Lastly the importance of brake adjustment is that the magnet can in the drum only move so far. if the brakes are so loose that the shoes don't contact the drum at the end of full swing, you won't have brakes....

  • @46fd04
    @46fd04 3 года назад +15

    Excellent video!
    Note to all;
    The best way to replace the metal bearing cap/cover is using a rubber mallet. Use light taps and it will go back on without denting.

    • @Woodyone1962
      @Woodyone1962 2 года назад +1

      A small block of wood works too if you don’t have rubber mallet YET.

    Hi Jarod, love the simplistic nature you attack the repair videos with...straight forward and keeping it simple. It seems that the new bearings now a days, come packed and ready to place, so wondering if downside to just replacing bearings and raceways (2, 4, or 6 sets - and since you probably need to have some extras to start the job anyway - and only once a year, so cheap insurance)... also saw a comment on replacing with disc brakes, they could always check out Mark/Tricia KYD had video on with cost if I remember right. Thank you for all your straight forward, wonderful advice!

  • @ronaldcumpsty5605
    @ronaldcumpsty5605 3 года назад +2

    Great video but I think a short description of tighten nut to 50ft/lbs while slowly turning the drum followed by keeping drum still while backing off the nut then finger tighten nut to tight followed by backing off with fingers to nearest nut slot and hole before inserting cotter pin..

You make us realize it can be done, and providing the step by step makes it possible that anyone can do this. Thank you for sharing your skills with all of us.

    Hands down THE BEST video you’ve produced thus far in my opinion !!!
    We ALL need to know how and actually do this every year !! I’ve needed to since owning my rig but I’ve been reluctant. So thank you so much for taking the time to do this and I look forward to more “maintenance” type videos from you in the future... I think imo maintenance videos are so valuable because we can always go back to them and rewatch them if needed. So please keep up the great work and kudos to you on the editing also. Overall awesome video !!
    Safe travels

  • @travelcampingblacksmithing786
    @travelcampingblacksmithing786 4 года назад +1

    Just a nit-pick, but those are brake SHOES. On drum setups, they have brake shoes, on disk, they have pads. When i adjust the brakes, i just adjust the shoes up until they lightly drag and then finish assembling the bearings into the hub and then you should be set on that wheel. Double check for a good lockup on the wheel by activating the brake manually on the brake controller

    Finally in my life, becoming interested in doing things myself. Kick myself often when I realize how simple a lot of stuff is. Thank you for your great videos.
    Two quick questions. You showed on adjusting brakes to tighten the adjuster until the wheel is snug when trying to spin, then back off on the adjuster. But, I don't believe you showed how to back the adjuster off? Second question. You said to tighten castle nut, then back it off a little. What indication do you use to know you have backed off sufficiently?

    • @plumcrazy9842
      @plumcrazy9842 4 года назад +1

      The only proper way is to put the tire/wheel assembly on, tighten a couple of the lugs and then wiggle the top and bottom of tire,tighten nut until there is no free-play then back off to next loosest hole for cotter pin. You never want any preload on that type of bearing.

  • @rpodadventure

    Great video but I’m curious, where you come up with the recommendation of doing this maintenance once a year or at 12K miles? Brake inspection is very reasonable but I question the bearing recommendation. Is there actually some science behind this time/milage recommendation?

  • @edwinsandel7438
    @edwinsandel7438 3 года назад +1

    I had no idea that the trailer has brakes and I need to make sure they work. Also the pull away brake pin was new to me as well. I always thought you need to allow more time to stop with the tow vehicle . I did not know the trailer helps to slow the trailer and tow truck. Scary to find this out after so many years of towing a 25 ft camper.

    Hi , I wanted to know why we need the 12 volts from the car battery to the trailer. Does it only help charge the trailer battery or is it necessary for the braking aspect. Im using a 7 pin connector.The 12 volts from battery to the brake controller but only a blue wire from brake controller to/for the brake signal. will that work? along with the old 4 pin connected as needed. Im not sure what that added 12 volts does.

    @mikeyaw7531 3 года назад +1

    Great video BUT you don’t mention when you over tighten them to back them off you need to release the adjustment bar by hooking it or pushing (depending on the type) to free the star adjuster. Best is to adjust so they just drag then let them final adjust themselves.

  • @dennisbaratta752
    @dennisbaratta752 2 года назад

    Self-Adjusting are not worth the extra cost ,they will cost you more money in the long run because they stop working after year or two then when you try to manually adjust the brakes it a pain the ass because of auto adjust mechanism is in the way

    Long time Subscriber, I watch and review your vids, over and over! This one I am saving and will watch over and over until I have the confidence to do myself!!! In this one, you mention using a “butt spice” and heat shrink connecting brakes… would it be a good idea using a connector, e.g., “bullet connector”? Sooner or later you have to change brakes and or hub. Wouldn’t this make it simpler?

    From what I've read.... and seen over the last 10 years on my new dexter axle... some discoloration on the bottom of the axle and within the bearing is normal. It's called fretting. If you replace axles every time they get some "discoloration" ... You'll be spending a lot of money. Please comment if I'm missing something.

    We have burned up 2 axles in 4 years from not repacking bearings regularly. Yeah. I'm a slow learner, but no more. Repack your bearings. I even have the grease gun fittings and regularly would pump a few squirts of grease in, and that didn't do the job. Teat the hub down and repack.

    Forgive my newbie ignorance Jared but what activates the trailer magnet. Other than the break away switch connection I have no other connection between truck and trailer. You must be talking about a brake controller, which I don't have Yet. Lots to learn, many more comments and questions still to come. Keep up the good work :)

    • @AllAboutRVs
      @AllAboutRVs  Год назад

      Good question. The magnet is activated from the brake controller in the truck/tow vehicle. Many trucks now have them built in and if not it would need one. That then sends it through the 7 way connection to the trailer.

  • @clintstevenson1214

  • @rogerballard3587
    @rogerballard3587 4 года назад +1

    Drum to Magnet surface question...
    If you feel a slight grove in the surface of the drum where the magnet rubs, do you need to have the surface turned or but new drums or not worry about it.
    My local RV shop said they can only turn 12” or larger drums , not 10”.
    But he did say they don’t always need turning, something they buff or grind the surface with a Cookie cutter. ( a small abrasive disc mounted to a drill)
    Your opinion?

    • @AllAboutRVs
      @AllAboutRVs  4 года назад +1

      I would take it case by case. If it feels overly rough I would try to have them turned. Ours were very smooth but I should have mentioned to inspect that and have them turned if needed. I wonder if the local Auto store would be able to turn a 12" drum?

    • @rogerballard3587
      @rogerballard3587 4 года назад

      My local NAPA machine shop will do 12”
      I was curious if there was an industry standard to how far you could go before turning or new drums.

    Just wanted to quickly check if you are still happy with the self adjusting trailer brakes? I am on the verge of getting new ones and am considering getting the same ones you have. But there are many others out there in all different price ranges.
    In case you would get other breakers meanwhile, I am happy for a referral-link from you ;-).
    We have a fifth wheel (40ft). For me it would just be great to have peace of mind and the trailer brakes are adjusting themselves. 🙏💪🏻✌️

The brakes would not hold me at a stop sign and when I took it back the tech had failed to adjust one axels brakes all the way out before backing off a little. Said he didn't have a way to see how tight they were. Will do my own next year.

    8:35. He blew right over the single most important step, adjusting the bearings. Please make sure that there is a slight amount of free-play when you wiggle the top and bottom of tire after you install or you will burn up those bearings in no time. Tighten nut until no play then back off to next loose hole for cotter pin.

    • @jaylame9196
      @jaylame9196 4 года назад +3

      You blew over, he did set and torque bearings which is factory settings. Torque at factory settings leaves no guess work. Adjusting too looseness is and always has been guess work.
      45 yrs hauling oversized 160,000 lbs average our bearing problems quit when torqued, guessing backing up till looseness couldn't keep bearings. Torqued they all run same temp at Interstate speeds.
      You do touch your dust covers and tires for heat after stopping don't you ?

    Unfortunately you missed one important step that is going to cause people issues if they are doing this for the first time.
    How do you remove the wheel drum so you can access the brake components. First remove the bearing seal, cotter pin and castle nut, remove washer and outside bearing.
    At this point the brake drum usually won’t come off because the brake pads are holding it in place. Put the wheel back on and install two lug nuts. Firmly pull the tire side to side until the wheel drum is removed from the brake assembly.

    First off great video very informative and I found it extremely helpful.
    Only one thing the bearing greaser I’ve seen several people recommend these but if you really look at the way it’s made it does not push grease into the bearings. I believe they are made for standalone races not with a bearing surface. I use a quart size Ziploc bag with a bunch of grease in it and Massage the grease into the the bearings

    • @jamesglenn520
      @jamesglenn520 Год назад +2

      You are Absolutely incorrect.
      This is an actual bearing packer. You watch closely and you can see the grease come out the top.
      Packing by hand or with a packer is the only way to ensure they are done properly.
      Putting them in a bag and rubbing grease on the outside is going to leave air pockets.

    Do you like using bearing buddies? Do they really eliminate this process?

    Forgot to mention putting a thin layer of grease on the putter part of the seal before install, and the shaft that the hub slides on.

    Can you please tell me where you got your water pressure regulator with the gauge that you showed in a previous video? I cant find one. Only the kinds without the gauge or a gauge but no psi numbers just low med high which is not helpful thank you.

      Go to Amazon and type in the search term "rv water pressure regulator" (without the quotes) and you will get dozens of hits.

      @Mattcandy123 4 года назад

      Instead of packed grease it’s filled with gear oil and the bearing is in the “bath” of oil

    Great Video. I have a fitting in the hub for greasing the bearings with a gun, which I have done and was pretty easy, but, does it grease the inner bearing also, or just the outer bearing? Again thank you for the great videos they are very helpful.

    • @jameshodgins1937

      It pushes grease through both the inner and outer bearings.

      Just be careful. If you over do it, you'll push the grease seal out the back and coat the brake pads with grease.....then you have no brakes...

      Yep. That is why I do it with a hand grease gun and go slowly. Never use a powered grease gun.

      No that's a good question! Thanks Monica. When I saw your comment I remembered I had a note to include what grease to use. I did use a grease gun and the grease I used was just from our local supply shop but I put a link to a similar type of grease I would use.

    • @AllAboutRVs

      Disc brake conversion would be over $1,500 and auto adjusting drum brakes upgrade is $400. We didn’t have that much in the budget to do.

    Jerod you might have touched on how to get the races out and back in. But again it might be better to have them get that information in person because if they don’t seat them right in could be a big problem.
