Class A wheel bearing repack question

I have a 2012 Georgetown 280DS that has 16k miles since new.
No issues , no sound (ticking) but there's also no maintenance manual saying when the front wheel bearings should be repacked.

I've been looking for info on it and someone elsewhere said done coaches may have s zert fitting vs the standard style bearing setup.
I've not even heard of such a thing so I figured someone here would probably know the answer & have experience in this matter.


Help !

Have you looked in the chassis manual for your rig my Class A (F53 chassis) had recommended maintenance for chassis there.

Just went through the manuals & there's nothing recommended for scheduled servicing of the wheel bearings.
I'd not really expected any which is why I was surprised when I read someone's post suggesting there was a hard fast mileage point (every 5,000) when it is to be done for all F53.

The fact I can not find the post has me questioning my sanity! LoL.
But we're heading to coastal NC shortly & I didn't want to leave if I'd missed something that's a scheduled item of maintenance.

I've always waited till the usual signs appeared or I had hit 25k-30k and even then it had been done more out of "just in case" than anything else.
But the one thing I've noticed since getting into motorhoming is that I should not assume anything & everything I thought I knew doesn't always apply to these vehicles !
