How Can I Tell What Inner Bearings I Need for My Travel Trailer?
Question:
I have a 2008 Dutchman travel trailer, mod 25cgs. The wheel bearing closest to the brake backing plate inner bearing? has gone bad. Can you tell me the bearing number? The trailer is approximately 25ft long from back of trailer to hitch.

Expert Reply:
Without knowing your particular setup on your Dutchmen Travel Trailer, the best way to determine your inner bearings is to pull the remove the hubs and find the number on the bearing itself. You can also measure the spindles where the bearing sits. In many cases, there can also be an axle tag on your axle beam that tells you information about the spindles you have.
I went ahead and attached a chart that shows the measurements you need to help determine your bearings. The best way to get this information is by using calipers like the # PTW80157. I've also linked a helpful article for you to check out.
