The best way to find the correct replacement bearings is to get the numbers stamped onto the metal of the inner and outer bearings that are currently on the trailer. With those you will be able to find the correct replacement bearings, races, and seals.

Another option is to measure the spindle of your trailer with a micrometer to get the diameter of it where the seal, inner, and outer bearings ride. See picture.I have included a link to a video on inspecting trailer bearings that should help you when removing the old bearings.

I really wish I could track this information down, but the only way to determine this will be to pull one of your existing hubs and check for the bearing and seal numbers - they should be stamped right inside the bearings themselves. If you can tell me what you find I will be happy to make specific recommendations.

@Corey Is the hub too long, or the bearings won't physically fit around the spindle like they are too small?

With your 1994 Coleman Fleetwood Four Seasons Yosemite having 10" wheels and looking to weight 1,850 pounds, from what I could find out, you will have either a 2,000 pound axle, or a 2,200 pound axle. This will mean you either have a spindle…

Well, Dexter is normally really helpful but in this case not so much. From what they sent back you have a #L68149 inner and outer bearing. I've never heard of that before and really don't believe you have a straight spindle. Based on the fact…
