Hey Brian, thanks for the information! You can use the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly item # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K and the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brakes item # 23-468-469 to replace the brakes and hubs on your 2016 Forest River R-Pod RP-182G.
The Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brakes item # 23-468-469 are sold as a pair. This will take care of both sides of your trailer. These are self-adjusting brakes so once you get them broken in you'll be all set.
The Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly item # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K are sold individually so you'll need two to replace both on your R-Pod. These hubs have a 5 on 4-1/2 lug pattern and come with prepacked bearings and seals.
Are you replacing the original brakes on your R-Pod?
