1986 Sunline Satelite axle ?

86 Camper · 03-27-2012, 05:56 PM

I own a 1986 Sunline Satelite 24' tandem axle. I need to transport this camper and I know 1 or more of the wheel bearings needs to be replaced. I am hoping someone could tell me what axles are under this camper. Dexter 2800 lbs? The biggest problem that I am up against is my camper is 150 miles from my home with all manuals inside. I do have the V.I.N. # available. I do realize for positive I.D. that the easiest way to find out for sure is to remove the bearings from hubs and measure dimensions or cross reference bearing part #'s at local bearing dealer, but beacause of physical location makes it tough to attempt to complete job in 1 trip. Thank you in advance for any input.

All bearings are numbered once you have them out any bearing house can match them either by number or size. That does not help when your 150 miles away but there is no magic with the bearings as in they are not special so some one will have them just show up early fix it up and your on your way.

Thanks for the input. I think in all reality I'll just have to take a ride out there, tear it apart and return the following weekend with new parts. I tried to get other trailer wheel bearings at the napa in the closest town previously, but everytime they had to order parts in. Kind of desolate area It is in. I was hoping to get enough info to have bearings on hand before making the trek out there.

Well I retrieved hubs and wheel bearings. I will share this info to help others on this forum. Axles are Dexter 2850 lbs capacity. The axle spindle dimensions are 1.350" inner & 1.00" outer. Brake dimensions are 10"x1.5". Inner bearing brand utl p/n # K-LM67048, outer bearing brand ucf p/n # L44649, wheel seal brand NGK p/n UF0015E. I Hope this info will help someone in the sunline world. HAPPY CAMPING!!!!!

Good to hear you were able to find parts. I was thinking it would have Hayes equipment, which are hard to find parts for, but I think yours is long enough to have full Dexter equipment.
