To determine the correct over-under kit you need to find the diameter of the axle on your 2002 Coleman Bayside. From my research it appears to have a 3,500 pound axle which means it measures 2-3/8 inches. If this is correct then you want to use part # K71-384-00 to flip your axle.

If it turns out the axle is 3 inches in diameter instead use part # K71-385-00.
