In order to determine the correct bearing buddy for your 2011 Newmar Kountry Star 5th Wheel, you will need to locate the outer bearing number or take a precise measurement of the hub bore using a digital caliper like # PTW80157. This will ensure you will find the correct buddy bearing.
For example, the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB2717 fit a 2.717 inch hub bore and works with outer bearing models 14124 and 14125A. It is commonly used with 5,200 - 7,000 pound Dexter Axles, which is most likely what your 5th-Wheel has.These may work for you, but I recommend verifying the outer bearing number/measurement on your trailer to confirm. Unfortunately, there is not currently a trailer database with this information.
I have also included a link that will take you to our available bearing buddy selection for you to look over.
