The VAULT “Hybrid Lubrication System” uses a semi-fluid oil in a pressurized chamber to give you the ultimate in wheel bearing lubrication and protection. At ambient temperatures, the oil is thick with a viscosity approaching grease. As the bearing temperature rises during towing, the VAULT’s hybrid oil thins out replenishing the bearings with lubricant and dissipating heat. No inspection, no maintenance and no service required.

A unique design for superior braking. Atwood hydraulic brake actuators are designed with your safety in mind. Their unique design creates more pressure at the brakes than in-line actuator systems. Parts are interchangeable between 6K and 8K actuators. Lock-out feature allows use with standard hydraulic brakes for backing up. No need for specific free-backing brakes. The Atwood breakaway device will set trailer brakes automatically should separation from tow-ball occur while driving.

In order to replace a hub on your trailer, you will need to know the bolt pattern or lug pattern. Trailer wheel hub patterns can be defined by the number of bolts or lugs per wheel and the diameter of the circle that the bolts are arranged on. Determining the bolt pattern is rather easy, but it is very important that accurate measurements are taken. The majority of boat trailers on the road have a 4, 5 or 6 lug pattern.
