NAPA sells trailer bearing kits for smaller trailers (and possibly larger ones, not sure) that are SKF bearings mostly sourced in Mexico or Japan, with the SKF name on them. They are good quality. As an alternative, remove the bearings and go to a BEARINGS AND DRIVE store and they will have good quality bearings, races and seals.
Personally, I blow the old grease out with compressed air, wash in the parts washer, examine closely and if they look good, I repack and reinstall.
I helped a friend replace all of the bearings in a new to him '86 30ft Avion but we found bearings made in every former Soviet communist block nation imaginable, so we changed them all.
