Hello Hiram, thanks for reaching out. We may have an axle solution for you since we do carry a lot of round tube leaf spring axles. I would need more information in order to recommend the correct parts as there would be no way to know exactly what you need based on a year and make of camper.

I will need to know the weight capacity or GAWR of the current axles.

I will need to know the hub face length of the current axle since this is what determines the centerline of the tire. Axles are measures across from hub face to hub face.

Also I will need to know the distance between the spring seats, or the frame width of your trailer.

I will also need to know your hub bolt pattern.

Finding parts for these older trailers can be tricky. A lot of stuff used back then is now obsolete, but if you can provide me with the info I requested above I am happy to look into it and see what we can do.
