The oil bath would not run any hotter than a greased hub and if the oil can take the temperatures is should not be an issue. But large trucks to Robs point have much larger bearings and much more oil while rotation is also much slower. Ive seen these on boat trailers and they seem to work well. I'm curious what the benefit is for an RV? With marine apps you look for a discoloration in the hub oil to tell you that water intrusion has occurred. In our applications, we would never see water intrusion. Outside of that, serviceability would be much easier with oil bath hubs....if they seal. I would not trust a conversion.
