What has actually sheared? Got a picture?
Replacing the axle is quite a big job, getting one the right size and then making the brakes work maybe a pain.
Not impossible but a pain when you find the brackets wont allow your brake cables to reach.
A picture and your rough location may help get netter answers. You can upload 3 pictures to your gallery or use something like tinypic to upload your pictures.

Back off the brakes on the rear to give clearance and then remove the center nut, Probably a split pin to remove first.
The right hand side (drivers side) maybe a left hand thread.
After removing the centre pin, nut and any washers tap the hub away from the van whilst rotating it. Normally you would use a soft hammer/mallet but its damaged anyway you may as well just whack it off.
Do not use a lever between the drum and backplate though.

is it the stub axle that is goosed or is it the bearing that runs inside the drum, if it is the latter then get a garage to press out the inner races, measure them and you should be able to get a bearing the same size
if it is the stub axle that is the problem then you might be able to clean up the bearing surface (unless it is scored useless) and put a die down the threads. For a brake drum to be totally goosed takes a lot

I'm not sure if you have got this issue sorted yet or not. I have an ABI Supreme that I've been trying to sell complete but am likely to be giving to a friend for his ducks. They don't need wheels or hubs!
If I can't sell it, I'll update but it could be another month anyway before it goes to my mate's farm.

I recently recommended this place to a member to get a replacement window.
If you need a replacement hub ,
They are a huge caravan breaker and worth making note of for the future.
They do mail order.
You don't give your location but if you are close to Blaenavon ,South Wales I always like to go personally ,but as I say they do mail order
I have tried putting their website on here ,for some reason after trying it it didn't work, it's probably my computer skills.
Go to Google, Caravan Centre Blaenavon.
It's one of those places I like to walk around anyway.Although I have a M/home it is still a great place .
What a shame on your first trip but hopefully no one was hurt.
Good luck for the future.
