"rusty welding and subsequent paint job of the sleeve to the frame" that is just spray foam to keep the critters out!
I agree on the hand packing in general. Next Summer will be two years on RV I will pull one hub at a time and visually inspect and then go back to greasing thru the spindle.
Lots of people think the RV axle/spindle will fail using the TrailerAid and my response is what about when going over uneven ground like a curb or a RV site that is low on one tire and most of the weight is transferred to the other tire?
If there was going to be a failure it would have happened in the pic I posted, that RV weight was around 19K. I won't use it if the conditions allow for me to use my RV's jacks but I sure will if the conditions dictate.
Nice to have options and opinions!
