Have a 2018 Reflection 29RS, been a great trailer so far. Are the axles made by Dexter? Are they sealed systems that do not need repacking of bearings? Thanks in advance.

Your 29RS most likely has Dexter axles. If I remember right, it was in the summer of 2017 when Grand Design switched from Lippert axles to Dexter. But in regards to your question, it doesn't matter. Both Lippert and Dexter are traditional hubs with regular bearings and grease seals. The both recommend that the wheels and brake drum be removed, brakes inpected and the bearings repacked on an annual basis.

There will be a tag on the axel that will let you know the brand. Ours was built in October 2017 and has Dexter axels. Jim is right on , annual inspection and bearing repack is essential.
