Expert Reply:
In order to know what bearings you need for your 1972 Airstream trailer, you will need to pull one of your trailer hubs and look at both the inner and outer bearing. The bearing number should be printed on the face of each bearing as well as the grease seal on the back. If you can get me those numbers, I can help you get the correct replacement bearings.
If you are unable to get those bearing numbers, then you will need to use a digital caliper like # PTW80157 to get the inner and outer diameter dimensions for each one. With those inner and outer diameter dimensions of the bearings and seal, I can help find you the correct replacement parts.
