jbeliveau, I had a need to replace one of the hub/bearing/rotor assemblies with Nev-R-Lube bearings on our 2011 DRV last fall and wound up calling Kodiak and spoke with a Jesse Muldrum who helped me immensely. He not only properly ID'd the axles and brakes I had but also the hub/bearing/rotor I needed to buy. During that time he explained these units were not going to be manufactured in the coming year, in 2018, but they had a pretty good inventory of what I needed at the time. Here's some of the info he needed - the wheel size, in my case being 8-bolt, 17.5" alloy with Goodyear G114 tires and using 5/8 wheel studs. I sent him photos of the rear side, showing the "Kodiak 250" cast into the caliper and the front showing the grease cap and wheel studs. Being you said your RV has 16" wheels you will likely need a different unit, but I would highly recommend calling Kodiak and talking with Jesse. I think you'll be glad you did.

For our RV he advised I needed RTR/HUB-133-8-10XL, costing $107.78 with bearing already pressed in and ready to bolt on. This is the whole assembly so all that has to be done is remove the large spindle nut, remove the whole old rotor assemble and install the new unit. He also said once their inventory of these items was gone the only recourse would be changing axles to something newer.

I heeded his advice about these not being available in the near future and bought 4 units, just in case I have another bearing failure down the road. The price he quoted and charged was too good to pass up. Good luck with your situation.
