Hi Gerald; I wasn't able to find anything that corresponds with that axle part number through Karavan. More than likely it is discontinued which is why none of the Karavan parts sites list it with the specs. To find a replacement axle I recommend checking the capacity and measuring the length.

The length will be the hub face to hub face measurement. To find the capacity check out the axle tag. If you aren't able to find anything on the axle tag pulling the hubs and identifying the bearings will help figure this out. Once you have this information you can use the link below to all of our axles which can be filtered by capacity and length to find a replacement. If one is not available, you could use a universal system like the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension # ASR2000S02 which fits any frame width.

The most I was able to find about the Coleman 4735CC201 leaf spring is that it's rated for 1,000 lbs which means it goes to a 2,000 lb axle. For that application we have the 4-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Radius End #e69SR which measures 25-4/8"…

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…

The #84 spindle is just a common way to identify the spindle dimensions typically used for 3,500 lb axles. So instead of listing out the parts, people can just say they have #84 spindles and it's easier to know what fits it. The CE Smith Trailer…

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…
