Gentlemen,
I have a 1994 Ranger single axle trailer. What hub assembly would you guys recommend for me to carry as a back-up?

You need to find out what your bearing size and hub bolt pattern is for your particular trailer. There are hub assemblies you can order online, or I believe I have seen them at Academy, that come completely assembled, bearings greased and in a carrying case. You may be able to find them at a trailer dealer near you. Make sure you have the necessary tools to change it! Here's the one that fits my axles, but I don't know about your trailer.

If you've never serviced your hubs to see what it is and what bearings/races it needs, changing one while on a trip would not be a good time to learn. Service your hubs at home and get the numbers off of the parts and get spares accordingly.

I have a Tie Down Engineering version (2007) of zerk fitting on axle grease system. I disassembled cleaned and hand repacked bearings this summer. Its been 5 years or so. I was maintaining the trailer for the long winter months and was surprised to see grease oozing out of rear seal and front dust cap rubber and metal parts. One rubber dust cap fell off and was in hub cap. I have not really driven this boat over 10 miles every weekend to lake and was surprised to see such a mess in inside of rims etc. The hub seals were replaced with Tie Down Engineering correct OEM type. Not sure why this happened. I consider myself mechanically inclined. Good luck.
