Axle & bearings

[Martin B.]

We have a 2013 Scamp 13, which has a Dexter axle. What model of Dexter Axle do I have? What kind of bearings do I have?

A. Older Scamp's (Scamp trailers made in the 70's and early 80's) with a 1" spindle use a L44643 bearing for both outer and inner bearing on each wheel. Scamp trailers switched to a larger 1 1/16 spindle to accommodate larger load capacity. These use a L44649 bearing, both outer and inner bearing on each side. Scamp trailers with axles carrying 2500 pounds or more use a L44649 outer bearing on each side and a L68149 inner bearing on each side.

At least that is what Scamp still says on the web site. I believe the model number of the axle is a lot number unique to the special order that Scamp makes. SEE:

If you want to know for sure you will have to climb under the trailer and look for axle marking or a printed tag.

Gordon2 is correct.
If you want reassurance, inspect the bearings when doing a hand repack, you will see that the bearing part numbers are stamped on the bearing, most even have the seal number on the seal.
