Replacement Steel Trailer Wheel/Tire for 1966 Serro Scotty HILANDER Camper Trailer

Question

Question:

I need a rim and tire for my1966 Serro Scotty camper. Most rims I have found only work with a 9” moon caps. I have the original moon caps which are 10 1/8 inside 10 1/2 outside. Do you sell any rims and tires that this moon cap will fit on?

Baby Moon style hub caps like # AM90086 and # AM981306 fit on conventional style steel trailer wheels like the one pictured. These have protruding nubs that allow the cap to snap on. These are noted in the photo.

Part # AM90086 fit 5-lug trailers wheels of 13-, 14- and 15-inch diameters. The inside diameter of this cap measures 9-1/4-inches.

Part # AM981306 fits only 6-lug wheels of 15-inch diameter. This cap's inside diameter is 10-1/4-inches.

I linked for you our main page for pre-mounted trailer wheel/tire products. Click on your wheel diameter, bolt pattern, tire size and weight load range to see suitable choices. If you like you can tell me that information and I will be glad to assist further. You can also refer to the linked articles on wheel bolt patterns, tire sizing and common tire questions.

The largest positive offset 14 inch trailer rim is the part #AM20304 which has a 1/2 inch positive offset. Most trailer wheels have a zero offset or right at zero since it helps distribute the load of the trailer on the wheel. This wheel also has a 5…

Answer 4

I will start out with your original tire. I did some calculations and the overall diameter of your original 640/15 tire would be approximately 25.48 inches and the width would be 6.4 inches. The diameter of the older tire is most likely why, when the…

Answer 5

You can certainly change your trailer tires to a narrower 205mm width as long as your wheels are 6- or 6-1/2-inches in width. These are the only size wheels that can take both 225mm and 205mm tire sizes. Please refer to the linked article on tire…

The measurement that you will want to take is the outer diameter of the inner ring and the outer diameter of the inner ring with one of the tabs (see photo). You will also want to count the bolt holes on the wheel and know the wheel diameter. The…

Answer 9

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…

Answer 10

If the trailer wheels scrubbed (dragged and scrapped the ground instead of rolling) when jack knifed then it could have thrown something out of alignment or damaged something. First, inspect the suspension. Look for any elongated holes where…

Since Demco uses 3,500 drum brake assemblies part #DMSB24429M and #DMSB24428M what you'd need is similar 3,500 electric brake assemblies like the etrailer part #AKEBRK-35L-SA for the left hand side and #AKEBRK-35R-SA for the right hand side. To…
