Hi I am looking for a replacement Hub for my 2012 Karavan boat trailer. I have the VIN number but dont know any of the other specs. What hub kit would be suitable? Thanks Matt

Hey Matt, could you get me the axle capacity and the wheel bolt pattern? That's basically all I would need but there are other ways to get to the axle capacity if you can't find it on the tag on the axle beam. If you can get me the bearing numbers out of the hub and/or the dimensions of the spindle where the bearings ride that would be all that I would need.
