Camper has sat for over a year, re-lube the bearings?

We didn't get the camper out at all this past season, so it's been sitting in storage since over a year ago now, and it's not going anywhere for at least another seven months. Prior to being put in storage, we did take it to a trailer shop to get the bearings checked and re-packed (turns out there was some wear on the bearings, likely not enough grease when it was shipped.)

So our question is, should we re-lube (EZ-Lube) the bearings when we bring the camper out of storage, or seeing as we had them re-packed and haven't used it since, and haven't seen any sign of leaking grease on our trips to check the camper, are we good-to-go in the spring?

    The only issue I see if the repack was done correctly was having grease break down some from disuse and temp changes. The EZ Lube is not difficult to do, just keep the wheel moving slowly when pumping and you will see when the old grease gets pushed out and it changes to the new grease.

    I would give yourself nearly a tube per wheel to make sure

    Here is the Dexter video if that helps:
