    trailer hubs available to suit D3, D4 & D5. Kimberley Kampers are advertising them.

    Just notice this comment on Kimberley Kampers promo material:

    Kimberley have released the most powerful disc braking ever with Lightweight ventilated disc braking and dynamic Kimberley calipers.As a comparison these are significantly more powerful than the Alko disc system because of a higher controlled hydraulic pressure.
    • Using Lithium and Superlight solar achieves Weight reduction of: 60kgs -120kgs : easier to tow, longer range



    • Matching Wheels and Tyres for European 120mm PCD standard:
      • Match Landrover Discovery 3, 4 & 5 , Range Rover, Touareg, Amarok.



    Link: 2018 Models off-road caravans and camper trailers released

    Does anyone know what the source of these hubs is? I dont expect Kimberley Kampers to have developed the manufacturing stream for them.

    I have an offroad camper trailer that I wouldn't mind upgrading

    thanks.

    KK announced some time ago that they were developing such hubs.

    I think these are the next generation, as they have had hubs available for probably 12 months.

    My dealings with KK is they won't sell you the pets off the shelf for a non KK camper, I tried this the their handbrake for electric over hydraulic brakes.....I needed to provide a VIN number first.

    Your best chance...unless they have changed... would be to find somebody with a KK who is happy for you to use their VIN number and try and buy the parts although I reckon you would have to convince them your upgrading therefore you would need the suspension.

    KK might have changed the business model you may allow you to purchase stubs hubs and brakes.

    Will follow the thread to see how you progress.

    ok, thanks, so it looks like KK have gone it alone and developed them. And not buying in someone else's kit.

    Bugger.

    looks like a complete solution, otherwise.

    I've had hubs engineered before. Wasn't difficult. Old hub as template, specs of required centre bore and PCD of wheels is about all you need.
    A good engineering shop should be able to mill some out of a piece of stock.

    Are there any knowledge updates on this thread? I was talking wheel matching with a trailer manufacturer recently and amazingly there still doesn't seem to be a widely available off the shelf option...

    Just the Commodore stud pattern you want to ask for. I believe these are easy to source.
