Determining Correct Axle Upgrade To Replace Motorhome Axle
Question:
Hi I would like to know if you have hub conversion for a mobile home hub that has L68149 inner bearing 1.378 and LM67048 1.250 outer bearing

I may have another option but we do not have any hubs that use Inner Bearing # L68149 and outer bearing # LM67048. That is a pretty odd size combination of bearings that really doesn't offer any good solutions for a replacement hub.
It is pretty common for motorhome axles to have odd bearing combinations as they are really designed to be used once and discarded. I recommend upgrading your axle which will allow you more readily available replacement parts to make searching for parts now and in the future much easier.
To determine the correct axle you will need a few measurements from your current axle. You will need to know the hub face to hub face measurement, along with the spring center to spring center measurement. The hub face measurement is the most important as the spring seats can be moved if needed. I included a diagram that shows where each measurement is taken. A referenced in the diagram is the hub face measurement, and B is the spring center.
If you can provide those measurements for me I would be happy to check our selection for you.
