For a 3500 lb axle, your options for bearing sizes are greatly narrowed down so that makes things a lot easier. You just need to determine your bolt pattern of your wheels.

For traditional 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern, Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3,500-lb Axles - 10" Diameter, I recommend # AKHD-545-35-K.
For 5 on 5 inches, I recommend # AKHD-550-35-K.
For 5 on 5-1/2 inches, I recommend the # AKHD-555-35-K.
For 6 on 5-1/2 inches, I recommend the # AKHD-655-35-K.

If you have axles with the grease zerk on the spindle:
For 5 on 4-1/2 inches, I recommend the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3,500-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K.
For 5 on 5 inches use # AKHD-550-35-EZ-K
For 5 on 5-1/2 inches use # AKHD-555-35-EZ-K.
For 6 on 5-1/2 inches use # AKHD-655-35-EZ-K.

The 2x2 inch square axle is likely 3,500 lbs or less capacity. I would need more spindle dimensions or bearing numbers to assist. If you pull a hub and measure at the spindle where the bearings and seal ride using the digital caliper like #PTW80157 I…

Answer 5

What you will want to do is note the brake mounting flange bolt pattern and the size of your brakes. I did some checking online and it looks like the GVWR of your RV is a little over the 3,500-lb axle weight rating which leads me to believe that you…

Answer 6

Actually, there's a little more to it than that. The magnets on the #K23-478-479 are a little different, but the primary difference is the mounting bolt pattern. On a typical 3500 lb brake assembly, the mounting studs will all be 2-7/8 inches…

I'd recommend using 10 gauge wire like part #10-2-1 (sold by the foot) for the brake power and ground wires as this will be more than adequate and will ensure you get plenty of amperage to activate the brakes.
