Replacement Axles, Suspension System, and Tires for 2000 Trail Lite by R-Vision

Question:

My son bought a 2000 Trail Lite by r-vision travel trailer. The previous owners took the tires and axles off the trailer. They have it parked and did not plan to ever move it. Now we need to move it to my son’s land. Can you give me an estimate of what we are looking at in order to replace axles?

For your 2000 Trail-Lite travel trailer, there is not an easy way to add the components it is missing, but I'm happy to assist. Without having any measurements, I recommend using the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System w Electric Brake Hubs - Straight Spindle - 3,500 lbs # A35RS545E which can be used in tandem axle applications. You will need to use 2 inch square tubing (not included) to install in the integrated holes of the assemblies to help with support. These assemblies replace all the hangers, springs, and other components needed. You will simply need to add the electric brake wiring # 10-2-1 to get that function.

If you let me know your hanger dimensions from center to center on one side and then center to center to the opposite side, I can see if there are any thru-axles that may fit.

For tires, I recommend the Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 15" White Mod Wheel # TA47VR.

If you can give me more information like the GVWR or a specific model number, I can help further with specifics, but these components will work well if you don't have those.
