Referring to BB specifically saying no more than every 5 years, with proper maintenance, but you can't do proper maintenance (inspect a hub) without going through the repack process. Just seems like a strange wording to me.
Either way, putting a bearing buddy on an RV with EZ lube axles is putting a grease fitting on top of a grease fitting. Overkill? Maybe. But it can't hurt I guess?2018 Dodge 3500 6.7 Cummins SRW w/Aisin

You can't have two zerk fittings. If you want to install a BB on a hub that already has a zerk fitting then you must remove the original zerk fitting. In this case the only benefit in using a BB is the reserve of grease and the visual indication of grease level.

Dexter Grease
Also interesting to note that Dexter sells their own version of the bearing buddy called Dexter's Trailer Buddy. Probably made by bearing buddy for Dexter.2022 Imagine 22RBE
