Are The etrailer or Dexter Brakes Going To Be Better For Dexter 6,000LB Axle?
Question:
Im replacing my brakes on my 5th wheel camper, The brakes that are on the trailer are 12 x 2inch on a 6,000lb axle. Are the AKEBRK brake assembly as good as Dexter brake assembly? Ive included a photo of the old brake assembly.

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Dexter Brakes # 23-105-106 you have are going to be better than our comparable etrailer Brakes # AKEBRK-6. Dexter's brakes are manufactured in the USA while ours are Chinese so Dexter is going to have better components. If you are changing your brakes it is beneficial upgrade to the self-adjusting like the Dexter # 23-458-459 or our etrailer # AKEBRK-7-SA
