Yes, the Dexstar Vintage Steel Wheel # AM20395 should work well for you. This is a 15 inch rim with a 4 on 9.44 inch bolt pattern like what you have.

Wondering if you have any info on 1962 Holiday Rambler...we’re trying to find out what wheel/tire size for it? We’ll be leaving to pick it up in a remote area.

I really wish I could find what tire/wheel size that trailer uses but it's not something that's available. Are you buying it from somebody? If so, is there any way you can contact the seller and ask them what size tires are mounted?
