I have a 2007 T@B. I thought I had maintenance-free fitting but it is possible that I need to perform maintenance on the fittings. Any advice is appreciated!

    Hi Vaag, the Dutchman T@Bs use the ALKO chassis and axle which use sealed/automotive bearings. They are maintenance free.

    There ARE Zerk grease points for the surge brake mechanism. Very easy to use a grease gun once a year. They are located under the tongue. Just shoot some automotive grease into the two fittings using a grease gun with the correct Zerk fitting.

    While the ALKO bearings are maintenance free and do not have to be greased, they do wear out over time.  I think LG still carries them.  Any mechanic should be able to replace them.

    States the T@Bpole has camped, so far ;)
