I am having some trouble identifying the brakes you have on your Fleetwood. They do look like they might be 12 x 2 inch brakes, but the bolt pattern is odd. It looks like it may be the Dexter # 23-105-106-09, but this is for a 6,000 axle. This is quite a bit more than would be needed for your axle capacity.

With that being said, what you will need to do to confirm the brakes and bearings needed is contact Fleetwood with the VIN you have pictured. They should be able to tell you what size the brakes are and which bearings match your spindle.

If for some reason they cannot tell you what is needed, you can measure the parts as well. To get the correct brake size, you will need to measure the depth and diameter of the drum. From there, you will need to measure the bolt pattern on the backing plate of the brake. There are some odd sizes that I do not have pictures of, but I did include diagrams of 4 of the most common ones.

Once the brakes are confirmed, you will need to find out which bearings you need. There are usually numbers stamped on the bearings, but these do wear off over time. If this is the case, you will need to measure the inside diameter of both the inner and outer bearings.
