Hello, Im in the process of restoring a 1985 Fleetwood 3000 CL 19ft trailer RV. Im looking for axle bearing and seal kits for the unit along with greaseable bearing caps. It has 2 axles, can you assist me with what I need or what information do you need to get the correct parts? Thank you.

I'd be happy to walk you through how to find the correct bearings and seals for your '85 Fleetwood RV, but there's no information on which axle your trailer has, as trailer manufacturers don't keep record of this kind of thing.
What you'll need to do is pick up some digital calipers like # PTW80157 and measure your spindle for in the correct locations for the seal, inner, and outer bearing which are shown in the below diagram.
Once you get these measurements send them over and I'd be happy to get you the correct parts!
