Doug-is it easy to do or would I be better off just having the dealership do it? I can't imagine a huge charge for that

I have it done and the brakes checked over every spring.  I don't think it needs it but it is cheap for the ability to sleep at night.

With our popup I did it myself, but since I bought the pod I've had either the pod dealer do it, or my local mechanic.

Do you have that done at a dealer or yourself?

Some do it every year, which can't hurt.  I go every 2-3 years with normal use but with 5000+ mile trips scheduled each summer I'm back to annual.

Took my pod for a trip yesterday. Moved the tires a quarter of a turn to give another spot a chance to be flat. Waiting for another warm day in March...

Question: How often do wheel bearings need repacking? Only going 1,000 - 2,000 miles a year in it.
