• Recommended Replacement Tire for B78-13 ST tires on Starcraft Pop-Up
  The B78-13 ST tire size translates to a ST175/80-13 size tire. The overall height of the ST175/80/13 tire is 24 inches and the overall width is approximately 7 inches. A comparable tire would be the Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range C # AM10199, which is 24.1" tall and 7" wide. These would be a good replacement tire for your Starcraft pop-up camper.

• Recommended ST175/80D13 Trailer Tire w/ a 4 Lug Wheel
  Hey Tom! Not sure where you're getting the 3.25" or the 2.75" center to center distance, but with the exception of the item # AM20208 which is a 4 on 9.44, all of our 4 lug wheels measure 4" on center. For a ST175/80D13 Tire with a 4 lug wheel, I recommend the Loadstar item # AM3S120. This is a load range c tire with a 1,360 lbs capacity. It has a top speed of 81 mph.

• Availability of a Trailer Wheel to Use as a Spare for Old 4-Bolt Wheel with Larger Center Hole
  You might be able to use a vintage wheel if the center to center distance from one bolt hole to the other bolt hole of your existing wheels is 9.44 inches (a little over 9-7/16 inches). We have the following vintage wheels: 13 inch wheel # AM20208 14 inch wheel # AM20312 15 x 5 inch wheel # AM20395 But if the wheels you have now attach to the hub using wheel bolts instead of lug nuts then these vintage wheels will not fit. It is hard to tell but that may be a split rim; a wheel that...

• Will Dexstar Vintage Steel Trailer Wheel AM20208 Replace a 13 inch Dayton Fayette Wheel
  If the center to center bolt spacing of your existing wheels is 9.44 inches, and 4-1/2 inch wide wheels with a + 5mm offset would work with your trailer, the # AM20208 wheels would work well for you. Rather than having the wheel mounting pad (surface of the wheel that touches the hub) centered midway along the width of the wheel, the positive offset actually tucks the tire closer in to the trailer by 5mm.

• Dexstar Vintage Steel Wheel # AM20208 or Hub Upgrade
  The Dexstar wheels are still in use by a lot of folks and as you already identified, available for purchase here at etrailer.com too under # AM20208. As for advantage or disadvantage to swapping out the hub it is in large part a matter of aesthetics. I would note that the way the Dexstar wheel is designed, the weight rests on the hub directly within that cut out and not on the lug bolts, some do prefer this design as an advantage. We have a wide selection of hub assemblies available...

• Determining Which Replacement Hub and Drums and Braking Assemblies Fit Older Camper Axle

  Most likely what you would need is the part # AM20208 but you would need to measure first. You will need to measure from the opposite sides of the wheel bolt holes like in the picture I attached. If that measurement is 9.44 inches this rim would fit and work well for you.

• How to Use Hubcaps on Dexstar AM20208 Vintage 4 on 9.44 Inch Bolt Pattern Trailer Wheel
  I'm sorry to say that we do not offer a hubcap that will fit the Dexstar 4-bolt 'star' vintage trailer rims. I sure wish I had better news for you. Your best bet would be check on the availability of conventional replacement hubs that would allow you to use replacement wheels so you could use a conventional steel wheel such as # AM20214 that is compatible with a baby moon hubcap like # AM90086. If you could provide me with the inner and outer bearing numbers used by your current hubs...

• How to Estimate Trailer Axle Weight Capacity from Axle Diameter
  Thank you for the photo of your converted trailer. Nice! Trailer axles usually leave the factory with a sticker or place installed directly on the axle beam that indicates the manufacturer, part number and weight rating. You can check the axles on your trailer for this sticker or plate. Given the age of the trailer these may be long gone. If none is present on the axles then you can note the axle diameter as this can get you in the ballpark in terms of weight rating. An axle diameter...

• Replacement Trailer Wheel for a 1984 Prowler Camper with 13 Inch Wheels
  The Dexter vintage wheel, # AM20395, has a bolt pattern of 4 on 9.44 inches. That means that there are 4 bolt holes and they measure 9.44 inches from the center of one to the center of the hole across from it. It is also 15 inches in diameter so it may not be the correct wheel for your 1984 Prowler.
