Dexter Axle has had sealed trailer bearings available for years...they call it Nev-R-Lube
It is a system so it can't be just swapped in.

Dexter axle is my preferred brand.    The component sheet that came with my 179 shows Lippert Axles, which is apparently wrong as there is a big ole Dexter sticker on it....

BTW I check bearing and tire temps at stops with an IR temp gun...can spot a problem coming pretty early with one.  The one I bought years ago was well over a hundred dollars, they can be had for $25 now!

	Our 2014 178 says that it has a Lippert axle too. But, like yours, it has a big old Dexter Axle sticker on it.

	One thing that hasn't been mentioned, is when you are greasing the Supr Lube hubs with a grease gun, you are supposed to spin the tire at the same time. So jack each wheel up before greasing & spin the tire. This helps the grease move through the back bearing without pushing past the seal.
