Title: Hub Replacement
Post by: Bill Greene on December 10, 2012, 04:33:45 PM

Recently had new tires around and, as a result, threw a hub on the passenger front wheel.  Looking for a replacement.  The hub measures about 8.5 inches and looks like the attached.  Appreciate any source references to obtain a replacement (my wife says the wheel is "ugly" without the hub)

I found them without the logo at a Peterbuilt dealer in Seattle a few years ago.

Bill,
Beaver Coach Sales probably has an identical replacement in stock that can be easily shipped to you if you are not going to be in Oregon in the near future.

Thanks, Gerald.  Took a look at their on-line site but couldn't locate one there.  Sent them a message.  We'll see ... but all leads appreciated.

Bill,
The parts department at BCS (Beaver Coach Sales) is not real good about responding to emails. Therefore I suggest that you call them at 541-322-2184 or 800-382-2597 and ask for the parts department. That should get you a much faster answer.

Looks like a Holiday Rambler emblem on that hub.  maybe they have other sources.  My Beaver hubs have no logo.

It's actually an "R" used on coaches with the Monaco "Roadmaster Chassis". So all late 2004 and later Beavers, Holiday Ramblers and Monaco coaches have them.

The front hubs are easy; these fit my wheels perfectly: http://www.partssystems.com/hubdometer-cap-5-notch.html  Our front wheels are a standard truck size.

However, the rear wheels have an axle cover with detachable hub that I cannot find replacements for anywhere.  BCS couldn't come up with anything that worked.  The closest truck size is 8-1/4" which is too big and the 8" is too small.  Like Goldilocks I need one that is just right!  Any suggestions would be welcome; I have quite a collection of ones that don't fit!   ;D

Jim - Sent a private reply yesterday and am wondering if it worked since that was the first time I've used that method.
