How do I find out what axles I have
Does anyone know what axles are on my trailer or how I can find out? I have a 2013 Evo 28 foot.

The surest way is to crawl under the unit and look at the tag on the axle.

The tag on the axle is not the official or certified capacity. It is the axle manufacturers load capacity tag. Only the trailer manufacturer has the authority to certify your trailer axles. That certification is found on the federal certification label as each axles GAWR. The value may or may not match the axle manufacturers value but what ever it is its certified and appropriate for your trailer.

OP didn't ask what the certified capacity was. They asked what kind of axles were on the trailer.

make sure you take a picture of the label on the axle while you are under there.

Teamfour X2. What I have done is take pictures of those labels as well as the stamping on the backing plates on all four wheel ends. When I did my last bearing pack, I also recorded the inner and outer bearings, race and seal numbers. That way if I'm ever stuck on the road and have to buy parts I can go into pretty much any automotive store and get the parts. Being proactive saves a lot of frustration and headaches after the fact.

X2! Get under and get those pictures. It will save you a big headache in the future.

But when you go to spec repairs and parts for the axles, brakes, hubs and bearings you want the axle manufacture's info - not the trailer manufacturer's.

My go-to guy and Camping Buddy had a trailer rental business for half of his adult life. He told me there was always a set of bearings and races packed and hidden in the trailer so if a customer had a problem on the road and called in they could be sent to any local shop for the fix. Parts in hand. Seems like a good practice to me
