Is there a hub kit to convert a moble home axle to a 5 lug 4.5 pattern ?

I have a possible solution for you but, mobile home axles are typically very difficult to change over because the manufacturer uses odd sized parts to assemble them. Once they go bad its more trouble than its worth to replace specific items, especially the spindles. It is difficult to find replacement parts for a mobile home axle because they were designed for one time use only. Unfortunately, there isn't a kit for something like this.
I recommend getting a new standard trailer axle like the one you were looking at from Dexter # T20BTR-EZ-6048. You will want to make sure that you measure your weight capacity, hub face and spring centers to match your motorhome frame before ordering so that you make sure this is a good replacement.
