Why repack?

Good explanation Andy. I can certainly appreciate the moisture damage possibility. In truth, I've probably repacked often enough in the past that the potential for moisture damage never occured to me. Now that I live in the frozen North things do sit longer (---including me!) and the annual re-packing would be good insurance. Where can I find the seal numbers so that I don't have to run to the parts store after pulling the first wheel?

Repack

I have lost count of the MH owners that have come in for their annual oil change, and not want to do anything else, not even check the tire pressure! After I show them that the tires are half flat, I then offer to pull off a dust cap on one of the wheels. 9 times out of ten, the grease that is visible inside the hub (if any at all) is dried up and cracked, and there is rust on the inside of the cap, if not a few drops of real water. And still a lot of them opt not to take care of an obvious problem they can see with their own eyes. Truly incredible.

Why repack? If I had not requested they be repacked, then I would not have discovered that the seals on both sides had burst.

Seal numbers

Just to bump my request for seal numbers - is there any way to get the seal numbers without pulling the wheel first. With a car or truck you can give the parts guy the year, make, and other data and the seal number comes right up. I've never had that luxury with any of my trailers. It would be nice to have the seals available before I pull the wheels. Maybe Andy will chime in with the right numbers for a 2000 30' Excella - or a convenient list if the axles don't vary that much?
