I don't have the ability to look up which bearings your Viking 1706 pop-up used, as there isn't a database for that like what you'd see with a typical passenger vehicle. This being said, I was able to determine that your pop-up has a 2000 lb axle which would have likely used a L44643 inner/outer wheel bearing.

You can confirm this by pulling one of the wheels and hubs and checking the existing bearings for a reference number. If you can't make out a reference number, use a digital caliper like # PTW80157 and get either the inside diameter of the inner or outer bearing or the diameter of the spindle. If the diameter is 1 inch, you'd use the # BK1-100 kit which includes the races, bearings, grease seal and a replacement cotter pin. If the bearing inside diameter is 1.063, you have a L44649 inner and outer wheel bearing and would use the # BK1-150 bearing kit.

If you have the L44643 or L44649 bearing set, you'd use a 1.980 inch bearing buddy. For a stainless model, use # BB1980A-SS or for chrome plated, use # BB1980A.

I'd be happy to recommend a wheel/tire for you. From what I read, your Viking 1706 was equipped with 12 inch wheels. To accommodate the approximate 2000 lb GVWR, I'd recommend a 145/80-12 tire. If you need a 4 lug on 4 inch bolt pattern, use # AM35351DX or # AM31199DX for a 5 lug on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern.
