You need to find a good trailer chassis/parts supplier. First you need to know what bearings are in your existing axle/hub assy. You also need to check whether you KL hubs will fit over the nose of the hub. Also check back spacing of you existing trailer wheels and any new wheel you intend to use. It is relatively easy if you get some good trade assistance.
The hub in the referred add is a bit over the top. If you are only using Holden or Ford bearings the hub should be about $25. Plus bearings.
Recommend brand name bearings NTN, SKF, Timken, NSK, Koro not Chinese. Again, if it is only Holden or Ford, bearings should be $25 to $35 per wheel.
Holden bearings are rated at one tonne per axle, Ford(slimline) at one and a quarter tonne per Axle.
Most new vans and campers have much higher rated axles, 1.5, 1.6, 2 and 3 tonne capacity. This is where it gets tricky and dearer.
Any hub/drum for axles with brakes will be dearer than those prices suggested above.
Don’t be pu off. It is a good idea. Find a good trailer axle supplier.
By the way, where are you located?
