What Maintenance Do You Recommend for My Dexter Torflex Axles on My Camper?
Question:
I’ve had my camper for about 18 months and close to 10,000 miles. I have a Dexter Torflex axle. What maintenance is recommended at this time?

Expert Reply:
Since you have had your camper for 18 months and about 10,000 miles, Dexter recommends that you have a maintenance check. I went ahead and attached the maintenance schedule from Dexter to this answer.
According to the maintenance schedule, you qualify for the third column (12 months or 12,000 miles). If this is your first time with maintenance, you will need to make sure that you complete the items listed in the first and second columns as well. If you need grease for the items that require it, I recommend the LubriMatic Wheel Bearing Grease # L11465. If it is time to replace your bearings, I went ahead and included a product page of all of our available bearing kits.
