Replacement Bearings Kits and Brake Assemblies for 2005 Pilgrim 190RB Travel Trailer

I'm unable to look up exactly which hubs your 2005 Pilgrim 190RB was equipped with, as the RV manufacturers don't have an online database with that information like passenger vehicle manufacturers do.

This being said, I found that the dry weight of your travel trailer is 4900 lbs and has tandem axles.

Most likely your travel trailer has tandem 3500 lb axles, but you can easily confirm this.

Pull one of the hubs, and take a look at the side of the bearing cages from the inner and outer wheel bearings. If the inner is etched with L68149 and the outer is L44649, you do indeed have a 3500 lb axle. If there aren't numbers on the side of the bearing cages, use a digital caliper like # PTW80157 to measure the inside diameter of the bearings. A ruler or measuring tape won't be accurate enough. An L68149 bearing has an inside diameter of 1.378 inches. An L44649 bearing has an inside diameter of 1.063 inches.

If that's what you have, you do indeed have 3500 lb axles, and the replacement bearing kit you need is part # BK2-100. Each kit provides replacement inner and outer bearings, races, a grease seal, a tang washer and a cotter pin. For 4 hubs, you'll need 4 kits.

A 3500 lb rated axle would use a 10 inch brake assembly. I'd recommend self-adjusting brakes like # AKEBRK-35-SA.

If your bearings have different reference numbers on them, or they have different inside diameters, let me know the numbers or the inside diameters you get and I'll make recommendations for you.
