For your 2012 Forest River R-Pod 177 the correct bearing kit is item # BK2-100. This kit is for a Lippert 4,400 lbs axle and includes inner bearing item # L68149, inner race item # L68111, outer bearing item # L44649, outer race item # L44610, grease seal item # 58846, and a cotter pin and a tang washer. You will need two of these per axle.

You will also want to get some LMX Red Grease item # L11390 to repack your bearings. If you need a grease gun you will want to use item # L30200 and I strongly recommend using a bearing packer item # ALL647646 to not only make the job easier but it saves time hand packing the bearings.

The Bearing Kit item # BK1-150 you were looking at has the same inner and outer bearings, item # L44649, so it won't work for your R-Pod.
