Reply With QuoteHello,
I always carry a spare hub and set of bearings, having the hub makes for a quick easy repaire, as i find the hardest part to be is getting the inner race in and out, much easy to do that at home.
and they are not expensive.

another forum has got me thinking........should I carry a spare stub and hub for my camper trailer?
I carry wheel bearings as they suit the defender and the trailer.
I am also lucky that my stubs are bolt on unlike most camper trailers/caravans you are generally up for a new axle if you damage the bearing area.....so easy enough to change
to date my thoughts have been its a pretty heavy duty set, I have never had a wheel bearing fail therefore good preventative maintenance should see me through
is the weigh of a stub and hub worth while?

I always carry spares as well. For the cost (bugger all) its an easy fix on the side of the road if the need ever arises. for about $40.00 for a hub, $20.00 for the bearing kit, and $6-7 for castle nuts and split pins, it's cheap insurance. I have had to do it at Aratula in the pub car park after a bearing collapsed and having them was a God send.

My camper comes with a mounted spare hub and stub axle, can just bolt on, only drawback is that it is unbraked so it is purely a temporary emergency solution.
