Determining if Trailer Hub is Oil Bath or Grease
Question:
I have a 2012 Palomino Puma 31 ft TRavel trailer. I can find info on the hubs and whether they are oil bathed or grease. I need to get some maintenence info on these hubs so I can do maintenance. I am including pictures of the hub. It appears to be Lippert covers. Any info would be great

Expert Reply:
Thanks for the picture of the dust cap of your trailer hub. From that I can tell you have grease hubs and an EZ lube spindle. The LMX Red grease like part # L11390 is considered the highest quality and most durable so we recommend it the highest.
