Unfortunately the 2021 2500 does not have EZLubes or similar unless the previous owner installed them. It requires the old school method, pop the grease cap and repack. Stan (Over the Hill Adventures, on YouTube) has some great videos on trailer maintenance. We're friends, have the same trailer. This video shows him repacking bearings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FixR...50dXJlcw%3D%3D
I forgot to add that we've installed a Hughes Autoformer (surge protector), Lippert shades for both entry doors, a grab bar on the main entry screen door, and a step stabilizer on the front door. One of these days I'll have to put a list together - we're always learning something new or seeing an item that we like. Stan and Rhonda have an Amazon list that is pretty thorough. This is our 5th trailer (3rd bumper pull), it's plenty of room for us and even the grandkids when their tent gets wet.Mark and Judy

We love the trailer! We travel with two adult Down’s syndrome boys and they love “camping!” The floor plans works perfect for us.2021 Grand Design 2500RL

I've been towing travel trailers since 1968 all over the country and have never seen the need to replace or upgrade the springs.
What is important to me is keeping the bearings greased and good tires. I replace my tires every four years where they need it or not. I've never had a flat on the road by doing so.

Update: greased the wheel bearings, had the tires checked at Les Schwab, and installed the Zumo spring helpers.
Have made several outings this year and are very happy with this trailer!
The only issue is the bottom of the dining/refer slide goes not retract all the way in. Stays out about an inch.
Thanks again for all the tips!

I don’t consider changing roof vents “difficult” but it does take awhile to gently scrape the sealer off. I now use PermaBond or similar roof tape to seal anything on the roof.
The bedroom vent does not have power, I brought power from the kitchen fan using a fishtspe.Mark and Judy
