You might want to consider keeping a spare hub assembly. They're only $30-$40 and are easy to change without much mess when traveling.

Best regards,

lost two in one day. Never felt anything and when I got to DD at 4:30am one day I had almost lost one wheel. Thank God for dremel tools and whizzer wheels I had to take the races off the spindle at the ramp they were welded on it got so hot. I always carry a spare, had the wife come down with another that morning while we went out and fished. Now I carry two complete hubs and spares of every part. American/Karavan trailers suck. I've put $3k into this trailer it's 4 years old and a new trailer is cheaper than that. Cheap bearings, cheap axles, cheap cheap cheap. Never buy another again. Next time it's a tri axle aluminum trailer.

Speaking of trailers..Does anyone know of a good place to bring your trailer for repairs? Hopefully around Boston.

American Trailer-private label of a Karavan trailer
The old distributor that was owned by Marine USA who did the American stuff folded up and the only guy around who does them now is Roberts out in East Brookfield.
