Since there isn't a master parts catalog for your 1997 Coleman Taos camper we will need to figure out the correct replacement hub based on the bearing numbers. The bearing numbers are stamped into the sides of the bearings. I have included a help article that talks all about bearings that should help. I have also included an image that points on where to look for the part numbers. If the parts are not available or you can't read the part numbers then you can measure the spindle instead.

Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 8" to 12" Wheels - 5 on 4-1/2 Item # AKIHUB-545-2-2K uses L44649 as both the inner and outer bearings and a grease seal with an inner diameter of 1-1/2 inches. And the hub has a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. If this is what you find on your trailer then this hub will fit.

If you do have to measure the spindle as outlined in the attached article then I recommend using digital calipers # PTW80157 because the measurements have to be as accurate as possible.
