Bruce, when it comes to "dealers", there are very good reasons many/most RV owners eventually become very motivated to do their own work. Dealer tech help are blowing seals for the same reasons inexperienced owners are. Dealer tech competency is a well known issue, perhaps even more widely accepted as "fact" on the forums.
I'm not trying to sell you on this system. If you don't like it, don't use it. My point is the design is a good one. MANY people use it and find it reliable. Giving fair warning about the potential to blow the seal is good info. Condemning the design completely for that potential is supplying an opinion that should not be taken as fact - bad info you might say.... To put this to bed, maybe we'll need to "agree to disagree" here.
jbuote - the best tip I can pass on, is 10 miles into any long trip, pull over and check the temp of your wheel hubs and your tires. If luke warm, you're good to go. If much warmer, you have an issue that needs immediate attention.
