My wife and I are getting back into camping and have a 2020 Imagine. Being rusty on some of the maintenance requirements I'm not sure what the best bearing grease is to use. Can I get some suggestions?

Welcome to the forum, Joe. I moved this thread to the Technical Forum > Suspension, Brakes and Tires channel.

This could be similar to who makes the best truck or tire.
There are many brands of wheel bearing grease where each are fine as long as the specs are met. I use Mobil 1 Synthetic Wheel bearing grease where it can be found in all auto parts stores across the country. This can be an advantage if there is a failure and you do not carry grease with you.
A few very important factors.
1) Use only a Lithium complex grease that meets or exceeds the specs found in the attached documents
2) Do not mix grease from one brand to another. This means you will need to clean out your wheel hubs completely on the first bearing re-pack so you know what's in there.
3) If you have and decide to use the EZ Lube system, make sure you are spinning the wheel while slowly applying the grease with a manual operated grease gun. Some use this system and some do not.
I have been using Lucas Xtra Heavy Duty Grease for quite a few years. https://lucasoil.com/products/grease...vy-duty-grease As this is not a lithium complex grease you need to clean out the old grease very well but then I do that every time I repack anyway.
