Bearings repack?

BCB- I know you recommend anywhere for 3-4 years from the factory with the re packing of the bearings on the trailer. Question is how many miles would you suggest that those 3-4 years would cover. My reason for asking is I have probably around 9 thousand miles on the trailer since i bought in 2006. All four hubs are still clean, with no evidence of grease loss, and they do not get "hot" to the touch, even after towing 300 miles. I fell comfortable with it for now until i see/feel something that should tell me different. Is that a safe way to think? I am waiting for that 3 year mark before repacking the bearings, but also feel the boat may be trailered more then the casual weekend owner thus an accelerated re-packing may be in order? As of right now I see no reason to repack the bearings, with their current temp and performance on long trips, would you agree? I repack Aircraft bearings quit often but that is due to our maintenance cyle on those, and the majority of those could probably last another 6 motnhs to a year, and they are not a sealed bearing set up.
