Would my TT have EZ Lube Axles?

Just curious if anyone could give me some insight on my Axles.

We have a 2019 Jayco Eagle HT 324BHTS. It's been in storage unused for the last 2+ years. Have decided to start camping again, and will be picking it up and bringing it home this week or next.

Been thinking a lot about the axle wheel bearings.

We bought our camper new, and used it frequently the first year, but since covid we've only used it a few times, and like I said, it's been sitting unused for the past couple years.

Just curious if this year and model would have EZ lube axles, and given the time we've owned it, the duration it's been sitting in one spot, if the bearings will need serviced.

My guess is the camper has less than 1000 miles on it as most of our camping is done locally.

EZ lube I think I can tackle myself, but otherwise It's a job for a professional I think.

Just brainstorming in advance here so I don't have many surprises once I get it back home.

Thanks in Advance!

If there is a rubber plug in the dust cap then yes other wise no.

Might be worth having the bearings done by hand and checking the brakes as well. Also consider the age of your tires, many sources say a three to five year life, irregardless of milage.

Ok, thanks for the heads up.

Grease can get hard as it ages. One thing about using the zerks is that is can push your inner seal out of place, allowing grease contamination on the brake lining. Many trailer owners refuse to use the zerks and hand pack-bearings because of that reason. You might want to pull a wheel to check the condition of the grease. I suspect it is fine. Not to cause fear, but sometimes the grease is under-filled from the assembly line. I have used the zerks without problem...

I looked on the spec sheet for your rig and it does state that it has ez lube axles and self adjusting brakes.

I would still do some verifying and also check the tires.
