Wheel bearing repack, electric brake service, magnet and shoe replacement, and brake adjustment at your driveway, storage facility, or campsite. The single most-skipped safety service on towable RVs — done before your trip, not after a failure on the highway.
Bearing and brake service from Mobile RV Pro covers wheel bearing inspection and repack, electric drum brake service, brake magnet and shoe replacement, brake controller diagnostics, and brake adjustment on travel trailers and fifth wheels across Utah and Texas. Wheel bearings on towable RVs need repacking roughly every 12,000 miles or annually — it is the most-skipped maintenance item on trailers, and a failed bearing at highway speed can destroy a spindle, throw a wheel, or start a fire. Certified technicians, common bearings and brake parts on the truck, written estimate before any work begins. Hub machining and axle replacement route to our Midvale, UT or Hutto, TX shop.
Bearing and brake problems give warning signs before they fail. Catching them during a pre-trip inspection is the difference between a $250 repack and a destroyed axle on the shoulder of I-15.
Dry or failing wheel bearing. Once a bearing growls it is already damaging the spindle — stop towing and have it inspected before the next trip.
A hub noticeably hotter than its neighbors after towing signals a dragging brake or a bearing running dry. Check by hand at every fuel stop on long trips.
Worn magnets, worn shoes, or a brake controller fault. Electric brakes fade gradually — most owners do not notice until braking is dangerously weak.
Grab the tire top and bottom and rock it — any play points to a loose or worn bearing or castle nut. Should be zero detectable movement.
A failed inner seal is slinging grease onto the brake assembly, which contaminates the magnets and shoes and ruins braking. Repair the seal and clean or replace the brakes.
If you cannot remember the last repack, it is overdue. Bearings have no failure warning until they are already failing — this is a maintenance interval, not a break/fix item.
If a wheel is grinding, growling, or one hub is running hot, stop towing. A seized bearing at highway speed can shear the spindle and throw the wheel — the most dangerous mechanical failure on a towable RV. Have it inspected before you drive it again. We come to your storage lot or campsite.
Mobile RV Pro services the electric drum and disc brake systems and bearing assemblies used on virtually every towable RV sold in North America. Common bearings, seals, magnets, and shoes ride on the truck so most service completes in a single visit.

| Service location | Your storage lot or driveway | Drop-off, RV sits for days |

| Written estimate | Always before work | Often after teardown |
