G'day All
Just purchased a 2006 Campomatic and wondering if someone has one

Trailer Rim
[Image cannot be loaded] or did have one that could tell me the rim offset and stud pattern ? I cannot find any stampings on the rims due to age and surface rust etc They are 16 inch 5 stud. I would like to replace them with something else
Cheers
Gazz

Gazz,
If you can accurately measure the centre-to-centre distance between two adjacent studs, then the diameter of the PCD circle for a 5 stud pattern is that measurement multiplied by 1.7.
eg, say the studs are 120mm apart. The PCD circle diameter is 120 x 1.7 = 204mm
There could be a decimal point in it, but depending on the accuracy of your measurements that formula will give a result close enough to a standard for a wheel
shop to work with.
Can't help you with offset, sorry.

Thanks Frank
That's very helpful - so with RMD's help and your tip I can now sort this out !
And a little tip for anyone wanting to measure between two holes to get a centre to centre measurement - measuring from the outside of one hole to the inside of the other is more accurate than trying to hold a tape or ruler over the centre of two holes IMO !
Cheers

Ummm... Gazz, I think you should measure from, say the right side of one hole to the right side of the hole to the right, if you get what I mean.
Outside of one to inside of the next will give a large error.
You can
check your work. Do a centre to centre measurement as accurately as you can. Your edge of hole to edge of hole should be within a couple of mm of that.

Frank
Part of my job is to bolt things with holes at each end to walls and floors and this is how we've done it for years when we don't have a template.
Could be my wording is wrong - left of one hole to left of the other ?

Sorry Gazz, didn't mean to patronise, just wanted to be clear and not lead you up the garden path.

All good Frank
Looks like I'm stuck with steel rims due to stud pattern and offset

The rims PCD etc depend on the pattern on the drum.
I assume ALKO parallel hubs with 10 inch drums as Campomatic fitted parallel hubs to all campers.
So you can buy any stud pattern you want from ALKO .
There are a couple of provisos
All ALKO hubs have imperial threads so if you need specific nuts for mag wheels you may not be able to get nuts to fit. There is a company on Ebay that does Nissan mag wheel nuts with imperial threads so maybe they will be available. You should
check before committing to Mags.
If you are trying to match to your car wheels you may find if it is modern that the hole in the centre is too small to fit over the hub. The only answer here is spacer/converters that switch one PCD to another.
I recently sold my 1998
Camp'o'matic and had a LOT of hassle fitting mags to match my car.
Unless you are doing it for cosmetic reasons , you should also look at the weight saving.
I am looking at mags for my new/old caravan and when I looked at weights there was very little in it.

BTW your
Camp'o'matic most probably originally came with Sunraysia style white steel wheels and a Previous owner switched them to match their car. Most will have a 139.5MM 6 stud pattern as that suits Land Cruisers and Nissan Patrols .
If you want mags you will also have to consider backspacing. The Sunraysias on my Coromal Caravan are 0 Backspacing but mags on independent
suspension cars are usually positive 20-30MM or more which may cause interference with the inner guards.
My daughter currently has a 2004? XTC and that is what is on that with a swing away rear wheel system.

G'day Phil
I'd be happy with a set of white sunraysia wheels but can't get them in 5 stud and offset to suit.
The
pic of the wheel in my first post is the wheel on the trailer and as you can see it's 5 stud. I also looked at Campomatics for sale and old reviews with a few also having the same rims - I believe they are 100 series steel wheels. I'm just trying to tidy the camper up a bit and make it look newer as the missus is disappointed I didn't buy the $700,000 Winnebago she saw on the net !! So the rims will be getting sand blasted and powder coated - possibly that original silver or just white.
Thanks for the reply
Cheers
Gazz

The old bloke who owned Campomatic must have got a special from Toyota dealers who swapped to mags.LOL
My daughter tells me that the bloke who used to do the canvas for Campomatic is still in business up at Yatala Qld where they were made. Everything used to be made in situ.
I don't know if the later ones like yours are the same but for my independent
suspension , he even made the stub axles as the thread pitch on the nuts is different to ALKO.
At one stage they were made in China but then reverted back to OZ later when Trak Shak took over.

G'day Phil
I contacted someone who is selling a 2004 Campomatic XTC and asked if they wouldn't mind telling me the rim size etc - turns out his is 6 stud 139.5 with +40mm offset.
So I'm wondering whether people who purchased them new could ask to have the trailer fitted with the same rims as their vehicle - just a thought.
Cheers

"So I'm wondering whether people who purchased them new could ask to have the trailer fitted with the same rims as their vehicle - just a thought."
Kimberley Kampers does that with its products. The different offsets mean different stub axles to make the wheels fit the body.
It follows that if the tow vehicle is changed for whatever reason - an upgrade or change of ownership - new trailer wheels to match the new tug may not be possible.
