Hello Keith,
We don't have any way of knowing what hub is on a Karavan trailer, but I can help you determine the correct one. To find out, you will need to take apart your current hub assembly and look at the bearings themselves; wipe away the grease and you should be able to see the part number stamped directly on them.
If you are unable to find them, you need to use a digital caliper and measure your spindle where the bearings ride, like in the diagram I added below. You will also need to know your wheel bolt pattern; if you aren't sure what your wheel bolt pattern is I have linked a printable template which will tell you exactly what you have.
So for example, if your bearings are L44649 (1.063" inner diameter) and you have a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, you would use the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub for 2,000-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 # 8-259-5UC1.
I have added a link below to our entire selection of hubs for you once you find this info.

Hey Keith, were you able to find the bearing numbers or get the spindle measurements for your Karavan trailer? Once you had that info, did the Dexter hub end up being the right fit? Your update could make it easier for the next person trying to match their hub.
