I must have gotten lucky. Ordered Jan ‘22. I got the 18k GVWR, but I don’t think the dealer asked for it.

When I did my disk brake conversion I went with the oil bath hubs. When you do this you get 9/16” studs and the outer bearing is larger. The inner bearing is the same size as a 7k axle set up. You had to go this route in order to get the threads to screw on the outer fill cap.
The only issue I had was right from the beginning the seals did not seal up well and leaked out my oil. I found a much better two piece seal and have had no issue with well over 7k mikes on the set up.
Yes disk brakes are the greatest, I’m not sure why they are not standard equipment in heavier trailers.

I just had Morryde IS/Disk brakes installed on my Solitude. They told me that the bearing covers had "oil bath only" on them. This was apparently the only cover they had found that would not break frequently and they specifically told me to use grease only! For all of the reasons that Rob listed above, along with the fact that semis operate constantly, while RVs sit a lot. The oil settles and corrosion can occur on the top half of the bearing.
So, Rob is correct. Use grease only.
BTW, the brakes and suspension are the BOMB!!! Especially the brakes!

At least in my case, I am not buying the dry bearings issue. I have a 1985 Camaro IROCZ that I purchased new. For the last 30 years I have only driven it every 2 years, when it needs to be emission tested. I usually burn a tank of gas out of it, refuel it, wash it and put it to bed for another 2 years. I haven't had any bearing issues.... Yes I know the wheel bearings have grease,,, but many other bearings like the rear end and tranny do not. This has not proven to be a problem for 30 years. I think my Momentum's bearings will be fine when I go to oil bath. They will likely out live me

I have a 12000 lb boat I tow on a 3 axel trailer. It’s built by EZ loader has oil hubs and disc brakes. Never had a problem with it in over 10k miles of towing. Can’t see where oil base hubs would be a problem.
