Hello Erin, thanks for reaching out. We should certainly have the parts you need, but there is no way to look up your trailer to know exactly what hubs and bearings you will need. RV manufacturers just are not that specific with their online literature.

It will still be pretty easy to figure out though. If you can take a look at one of your drums, there should be a part number cast on the front. Get me that part number and I should be able to use that to look up your brake/drum size, bearing sizing and bolt pattern. Or if you happen to know your axle capacity, bearing numbers and bolt pattern that works too.

Reply on this page and I am happy to look into it and send you a parts list.

Jesse, just got a tire off. Here's what is on the drum, Dexter 8-201 Maximum Rebore drum diameter 12.09, MTA 3-341 or 3-3U1, not sure on that last one. The rims have a 6 bolt pattern. Hope this is enough.

@ErinM Hey Erin, thanks for that info! That is more than enough to know exactly what parts you need. Your have the Dexter 8-201 hubs which are fairly common. Here is what you will need: - Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb and 6,000-lb Axles - 6 on 5-1/2 - Pre Greased # 8-201-9UC3-EZ - Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brakes - 12" - Left/Right Hand Assemblies - 6K # 23-458-459 The hubs come pre-greased with bearings, seals, races, grease caps and lug nuts. The hubs are sold individually and the brakes are sold as a pair. The brake assemblies do not come with hardware, so if your want new bolts and nuts use part # BRKH12S. It will be one hardware kit per brake assembly. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help!

Hello Larry, I am going to assume by self leveling you mean self adjusting? My Mother told me to never assume, so let's keep this between you and I. The Dexter D44 axle is rated for 4,400 pounds so you will want the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric…

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…
