I don't know the actual size but the wheel bearings on the trailer are likely and 1" bore and a 1 1/4" bore. The bearings on the axle of my truck are likely double that and flooded with differential oil. It's not really a fair comparison.
If you want a sealed lifetime bearing on your trailer, it would cost substantially more. Dexter makes cheap axles because that's what trailer manufactures want.
In 20 years I have only done my bearings once and that was because we were going 10,000 km.
If I wanted an improvement on any one issue, it wouldn't be the wheel bearings, it would be something made by Dometic.
