Trailer bearings and race shot, any ideas?

 I know this should be a no-brainer, replace the bearing and race or just get a new hub. Not that easy.

 The trailer in question was built by myself starting with an old camper. I tore off the shell, reenforced the frame and installed a wooden deck. Its a 2 axle (axles are old dexter 3500lb axles with the Dexstar wheels) front axle has elec brakes. rear axle is just a plain hub. One of the rear hubs had a rough bearing. Once removed i find that the larger inner bearing is bad, the bearing race is pitted as well. UGH! I need this trailer to haul our motorcycles on an upcoming trip to Florida, about 2500 miles round trip. I contacted etrailer and have had no luck as of yet. Kind of hitting a wall here, we leave in 15 days.

 Anyone have an old camper sitting out back? LOL

 any thoughts?

 This is the hub.

 I believe they were a 4-9.44 hub meaning 4 bolt, 9.44 bolt circle. old school stuff. lol
