Has anyone here put these on a travel trailer? Size? I have a TT that's 23'4'' (box length).

You don't go by the size of the caps. You would need a digital caliper to measure the hub bore.

The bearing buddy webpage uses the cap size. They even have a size gauge card.

Bearing buddies are designed for boats because they get immersed in water.
You can use them on a trailer but I see no advantage to them. Just another thing that might fail.

I canโt keep the Bearing Buddies on my Basscat trailer. I have lost 6 while going down the road. I think I have lost one on each of the4 hubs. I put regular caps on and have never lost one since
I fish on the edge and stay out of the middle
