Question:
I own a 2012 Airstream Flying Cloud 27FB. What is the cost of the Never-Lub bearings? I believe four are called for. Thanks

Expert Reply:
A tandem axle travel trailer such as the Airstream Flying Cloud 27FB will require four sets of wheel bearings, an inner and outer bearing for each hub. Based on this trailer's GVWR it is likely to have two 3500-lb-rated axles. Often axles of this weight capacity use standard tapered roller bearings # L68149 (inner) and # L44649 (outer).
Dexter Nev-R-Lube cartridge-style wheel bearings like # 31-71-3 are offered in millimeter sizes; this one is 50mm. 42mm and 35mm sizes are also available, parts # 31-73-3 and # 31-72-3 respectively. You can see pricing for each on the linked pages.
Please note that these bearings are non-tapered, meaning they require special spindles/axles and special hubs. They are not drop-in replacements for standard tapered bearings. The 50mm size must be used with Dexter's 50mm Nev-R-Lube axle; the 42mm size must be used with Dexter's 42mm Nev-R-Lube axle.
