I would be happy to walk your through how to determine the correct replacement hub and drum assemblies and electric braking assemblies, but unfortunately we do not have a break down of the components used on your 2017 Forest River Tent Trailer.

First you will need to determine which inner and outer bearings your axle uses. The easiest way to do this is by removing one of your hubs and looking for the bearing number stamped in the face of each bearing as shown in the included picture of the # L44649.

If your bearings are worn to the point that you cannot read the bearing numbers you will need to use digital calipers like # PTW80157 to precisely measure your spindle according to the included diagram.

If you can provide the bearing numbers or spindle measurements of your axle that will identify which hub and drum assemblies you will need, and since we know you have a 2750lb axle that will also identify which braking assemblies you will need.
