Help Picking Out Hub/Drums and Brake Assemblies for 1986 Avion Model 25-H

Question:

Hey, I have a 1986 Avion model 25-H travel trailer and it needs allot of work on the wheel assemblies. Im really not too familiar with wheel assemblies on vehicles so I was hoping that I could get some advice on what to get. Pretty much everything needs replaced other than the axles and the leaf springs. I was told that I need trailer hubs drum assemblies, brake assemblies, trailer hanger kits, axle bushings, u-bolts, and leaf spring bushings. I know I might not be able to find everything on this website, but If you can help me find some things that would be great! Thanks!

In order to pick out the correct hub assembly for a trailer you are going to need know a few key pieces of information. The first thing you will need to know is the bolt pattern of your hubs. This is so you get a hub that is compatible with your wheels. I attached an FAQ article on determining bolt pattern for you to check out.

Next thing you will need to know is what spindle you have on your trailer. In order to do that you can either get the inner and outer bearing numbers from a hub or use a dial or digital caliper to get exact measurements of the spindle. The measurements needed are the parts of the spindle where the bearings ride.

If you get back to me with that information I will help you pick out the right hub assemblies. Or, you can follow the link I attached that will take you to the page that has all of our replacement hubs.

To pick out axles you'll need to know the capacity, the distance between the spring seat centers and from hub face to hub face.

You would want to first select the bolt pattern that you have, next select the inner bearing you have, followed by selecting your outer bearing, and then all the correct hubs will be listed. Once we know what hub you need we'll be able to pick out the correct brake assembly as well.
