While we do not have a kit we do have every part you will need. I saw you were looking at a hub and drum item # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K that has a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. If this isn't the pattern currently on your wheels then go ahead and email me back with what you have so you don't need to swap out your wheels.
Another piece of information that is extremely important is the bearing sizes currently on your trailer. The item # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K is compatible with trailer's that use inner bearing item # L68149 (1.378" inner diameter) and outer bearing item # L44649 (1.063" inner diameter). You will want to verify this by removing your current hubs and checking the spindle size or hopefully the numbers stamped into the side of the bearings.
To add electric brakes to your RV you will need the following parts:
Hub and Drum Assembly - Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3.5K Axles item # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K
Electric Brake Assembly w/ 4 bolt mounting flange - Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 10" item # AKEBRK-35
