I'm giving ETRAILER an excellent review for there dedication to making sure I received a quality product on time.
by: Kyle Dodig08/13/2015
The staff at eTrailer.com are very helpful and knowledgeable - ask if you're unsure. I originally ordered through the Internet and received the wrong products - because I neglected to ask questions. The return went smooth, but I had to pay for it (my error). The next round arrived well packaged (externally), but there was thin packing tape all over the outside of the hubs and some on the inside rubbing surface of the hubs. It took some doing to get it all off. There was a little rust on the non-contact surfaces of the hub as well as on the brake housing. On the brake housing, you can see some rust in the pic. Looks like it may have been rebuilt. This doesn't seem to have any effect on its operation though. Seals, Races & Bearings are super clean and fit perfectly. I installed these brakes onto the existing '4.5 on 5' flange on a 2000 pound axle (on a 2004 Aliner LX Classic Pop-up trailer). It came with the bolts to attach to the flange, but be sure to order the adjuster grommets, lock washers and 7/16x20 fine thread nuts, since it doesn't come with them. Once I got the wiring set up properly, it works exactly as it should. I prewired the setup prior to delivery. My error was that I assumed the only wire I'd need to run was the blue (brake) wire, but there are two wires on the brake housing as you can see in the picture. Either one goes to the blue (doesn't matter which) and the other attaches to the neutral (white) wire that goes back through the trailer's main wiring harness. Simply attaching the wire to the trailer frame (ground) like I initially did as seen in the picture looked like a good clean setup and easy solution to my one-wire mistake. Unfortunately, it DID NOT WORK. The secondary (neutral) wire must be detected by the tow vehicle's brake controller. Plan ahead and buy the blue and white primary wires (20 feet of 14 or 16 gauge will work) and run them next to each other before hand. Be sure to house the wires in 'plastic split loom tubing' so they don't rub against anything and zip tie them to the frame, so they're not hanging or in the way of anything. Happy braking. :-)

These are nice pieces. I converted from hydraulic to electric. They are made in america which I appreciate. No issues installing. etrailer was helpful with helping me with correct part numbers for my applications and the swap. I appreciate their customer service, knowledge and parts provided.

We haven't had much experience with etrailer yet but so far the service reps, products, and ordering process has been great. We are impressed without how promptly our items were shipped. We signed up to be a dealer and were thrilled to learn that etrailer wanted to credit us the difference from our order because we ordered before becoming a dealer. Then we found out etrailer also refers other customers who need a part install to local dealers which is awesome. So far everything about this company has been wonderful. Thank you.
by: Kyle03/25/2020
Excellant product, all put together and ready to bolt onto the backing plate. Wiring was plenty long enough, and a very simple and easy install.
by: Craig 08/30/2022
The two LH brakes work fine. See my review of the RH brakes.

We towed the camping trailer all over Florida in February and March. All the brakes worked great!
by: CJ08/31/2023
Parts arrived early and installed perfectly. Love the quality and how easy they bolted in.
by: Paul11/16/2018
After grinding off old surge brakes, these went under my snowmobile trailer with a perfect fit. I mounted an electrical junction box 10ft back from the tongue, and that made wiring them much easier also. Last season, on a snowy trip back from up north, I was able to straighten out my sliding trailer with just a quick reach for the brake controller. I would highly recommend this product.
by: Tony05/26/2016
Brakes worked great and ready to assembly. A faint odor for couple of hundred miles breaking in. Always worked well and stopped confidently even on the steepest of descents. 20% down grade going into Lake Tahoe for example. Highly recommend.
by: Shawn D.07/05/2012
This brake assembly replaced my original electric brake on 2004 Fleetwood/Coleman Sedona. You need to order four nuts for the brake mounting bolts on each assembly. etrailer's service/delivery was extremely fast with the free shipping on orders over $150. I also bought the LH assembly and matching hubs for the dexter ez axle. I would definitely buy from etrailer again.
by: Joe08/26/2015
These brakes are well built, but unfortunately I had to return them before trying them out. There was a large gap between the brake and the drum. The etrailer tech suggested using washers/spacers to move the brake further into the drum, but the mounting bolts on the brake were not long enough to accommodate this situation. I had to find an alternative brake with a longer mounting bolt. Otherwise, seems like a good product.
by: Tim B.11/14/2012
I purchached these brakes to convert from hydraulic surge brakes on my 1973 pop-up camper. It was a simple, bolt on conversion that took only a few hours to complete; including wiring. One week later, they performed flawlessly on the 400 mile trip to hunting camp. Thanks e-trailer for a great product and service.

delivered on time product, of good quality very helpful c/s .Will shop here again
by: Bus01/18/2017
The part was exactly what I needed. Delivery was very quick, 2 work days. The price for the entire brake assembly was less than an auto parts store quoted Me for one piece of the assembly. Yes it was less expensive to buy the assembly, than to buy just the magnet. The sales clerk for the assembly was very helpful and sincere. The clerk told Me after I had placed the order that I would receive parts at the good price, delivered, with no extra freight charge. I was very pleased when I received the parts and they fit very well. I will be contacting them again. I have owned and operated my repair shop for over 40 years. It is so nice to talk with a most Pleasant order clerk and receive exactly what I needed. The clerk was patient and very helpful. Thanks for the Good Service !
by: Barry F.09/21/2012
Ordered my parts on Tuesday... showed up on Thursday! Awesome delivery time. Read the reviews for the 7" brakes I needed to replace on my popup camper, and several folks said to make sure to order the bolts, nuts and washers - since the etrailer replacements didn't come with them. The 7" brakes DO infact come with the pressed-in bolt studs already in place, the only thing extra you'll need to get would be the nuts and lock washers if you don't already have them. Installation is as simple as bolting them on and crimp connecting two wires. I'll make final adjustments to the brake controller once everything is back in place.
by: Wayne04/05/2022
The items went onto my Aspen Classic trailer fairly easy. The only glitch was that I received axel caps that were too large. Once I notified the company, I received the correct caps rather quickly and finished up the install.
by: Doug J.07/25/2014
The 23-47 brakes are an excellent replacement on my 1997 Coleman Fleetwood Bayports popup camper that I am close to finishing a restoration process on. They fit perfectly! Very happy to purchase an excellent product from the fastest shipper I have ever come across. I am blown away by the professionalism with this company!
Thanks
by: Matt G.07/09/2016
My break shoes were shot this year (fell on the ground when I pulled the drums off) for almost the same price as my local dealer wanted for just shoes I got the entire assembly with magnetic puck and shoes!!!!!!! Thanks so much Etrailer!!!!!!

Electric Brake kit for trailer this time.
The parts are very acceptable and the service is supreme.
Couldn't get any better service anywhere. I've bought a lot of items from etrailer for a couple years now. I have had great experiences with each and every order.
by: Daveinacave03/29/2021
Just what the doctor ordered. Items are easy to find on the website. Prices are decent. What makes etrailer stand out are their tutorials on the products as well as how to use them and excellent installation videos and tips. All this and a low price guarantee! You can't go wrong.

Exactly the right parts at a good price with outstanding customer support 10 out of 10 would purchase again and exclusively from this retailer.

I ordered a set of trailer brakes for my camper and they arrived at my home in just four days. The order was filled correctly and promptly. Thank you very much. You know how to do business.
by: Bill06/13/2017
I had a mishap on my camper and burned up a set of brakes, and had another camping trip to get ready for. So I ordered a set of these. They showed up on time, were easy to install, and saved the day.
by: Ron B.09/20/2012
Fast shipping and this was an exact replcement for what was instaled on my trailer. Remember to order the nuts for the 4 studs. The old one do braked off during removal.

- Can Electric Brakes Be Added to Dexter 2,200lb Capacity Idler AxleBrake mounting flanges like part # 4-34 could be welded to the axle you referenced. The spindles are compatible with the L44649 wheel bearings. If you needed a hub with a 4 on 4 bolt pattern, use the # 8-173-16UC3-EZ hub drum and the # 23-47 and # 23-48 brake assemblies. You'd also need 4 nuts # 6-17 and # 5-8 lock washers per brake assembly. If you needed a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern, go with the # 8-257-5UC3-EZ hub drum along with the brake assemblies and hardware mentioned above.
view full answer... - Adding a Brake Axle to a 48 Inch Wide Home Made Travel Trailer on Harbor Freight FrameWhat you could do is use an axleless system # A35RS545E which comes with everything except a brake controller. The only issue is that you would need to also replace the tires and wheels with something like # TA73RR since the kit has a 5 bolt pattern and your trailer has a 4 on 4 pattern. We don't have a straight axle with the proper spring hanger spacing for the trailer. But you could potentially use # T20BTR-6048 and have a professional welded cut off the spring seats and weld on new...

- Recommended Hub And Drum for Electric Brakes With 4 On 4 Bolt Pattern For 1973 Scamp TrailerThe hub we offer that will work with electric brakes and has a 4 on 4 bolt pattern, is part # 8-173-16UC3. You are correct that this hub and drum will only work with 7 inch x 1-1/4 inch brakes. The bearings, races, and seals are included with this assembly. I have attached a product review video for this hub/drum you can check out. The electric brakes that will work with this drum is designed for axles rated up to 2,000 lbs. The brakes have a 4 bolt mounting flange. For the right hand(passenger...
view full answer... - Can Brakes be Added to 2,000 lb Axle without Brake FlangesI would check first to see if you do have brake flanges before going forward buying parts because if you do that would make it pretty easy. Otherwise you could look into having flanges welded on as that's an option too. We have them with part # 4-34. You'll need to find a welder with the correct jigs for this job. If you can get me the brand, capacity, and axle style of what you have I can see if we have a lift for it. We have the parts needed to add brakes to a 2,000 lb axle as well....
view full answer... - Brake Solution to Allow 10 inch Wheels be Used on 3,500 lb Trailer AxleThe only option we have for 3,500 lb axle brake assemblies that are compatible with 10 inch wheels is a disc brake option like the Kodiak kit part # K2HR35D-8. You will need an actuator with this like part # HBA16 and then brake lines like part # 18SI-BLKIT.
view full answer... - Replacement 7 inch Brake Assemblies for 2,000 lb AxleWe do not have access to the brand Reliable, but most likely you would want the part # 23-48 for the right hand side and part # 23-47 for the left side. These are 7 inch brake assemblies for a 2k axle and use a 4 bolt mounting flange that is the industry standard for brake assemblies.
view full answer... - 72 inch Trailer Axle with 2k Capacity and Hub/Drums to MatchWe have 72 inch axles that are 2k rated with idler hubs as a single part number but none that have the hub/drums on them so you'd need to order an axle with spindles only in that configuration and then add the hub/drums and assemblies like with the # T20BTR-7258 and then hub/drums # 8-257-5UC3 and then for assemblies # 23-47 and # 23-48. Then for a wheel and tire that's 15 inch with the bolt pattern you are needing the part # AM32418DX would be a great option.
view full answer... - Factory Brake Controller on a 2008 Chevy Silverado 3500 Doesn't Register Trailer Brake ConnectionIf the problem trailer uses electric over hydraulic trailer brakes, that could be the problem. Many factory integrated controllers do not work with EOH braking systems and there will either need to be an adapter installed (and it depends on the brand of the actuator) or an aftermarket controller that is compatible will have to be installed such as the P2 # 90885 or P3 # 90195. If the trailer just has regular electric brakes then the likely issue is a dirty or corroded trailer connector...

Brake Assembly mounting bolt, part # 7-75, is 1-1/4 inch long with 7/16 - 20 threads. The nuts, part # 6-17, are also 7/16 - 20. This size is pretty standardized as far as 7 inch and 10 inch brake assemblies.

You'll want to measure the ID of your existing bearings to confirm. A digital caliper like # PTW80157 is an easy way to get an accurate measurement of your bearing's inner diameter. If your existing hubs use the L44649 bearings, you can use the Dexter # 8-173-16UC3 which is compatible with a standard spindle or # 8-173-16UC3-EZ compatible with an EZ lube spindle.

If so, we probably can help you. If the mounting flange is a 5 bolt pattern and you have 6k axles the part # 23-105 and # 23-106 would most likely fit. Due to the age it probably would be a good idea to replace the hubs too. Based on the numbers it looks like you have a BTR spindle. For a brake drum you would need the part # 8-257-5UC3-EZ.

If you need new hub/drums as well you'd want the part # 8-257-5UC3 which would fit either side of the trailer.

view full answer... - Can Drums from a Trailer with 7 Inch Hydraulic Brakes be Used When Converting to Electric BrakesYou might be able to re-use the drums. Some 7 inch hydraulic drums are sized differently and will not allow electric brake assemblies to be properly positioned in the drum. Some times the hydraulic drums are too deep and will make contact with the brake backing plate before they are seated all the way on the spindle. The best way to proceed is to try re-using the drums first and if they do not fit get drums made for electric brakes or you can buy electric brake drums from the start. We...

The bearings you would need are # L44649 for the inner and outer and then for a seal # 10-9. For brake assemblies you would need part # 23-47 for the left and part # 23-48 for the right. I know you didn't mention it, but if you needed to hub drums you would need part # 8-173-16UC3.
view full answer... - Replacing Electric Brake Assemblies & Hub Seals on Haulmark Sport Lite 2-Axle TrailerWe generally recommend replacing brake assemblies on both ends of the same axle at the same time. If wired correctly both brakes on a given axle should tend to wear fairly evenly. Just because the initial electrical braking signal reaches one wheel on the axle before the other there should not be very different wear between the two. If the front/left brake was damaged due to a dead short, then all brakes will cease to function as they are all on a common circuit. The other three brakes...

That means that your brake controller would draw around that when at max setting depending on the amount of brake assemblies. Having 10 gauge wire (like # 10-1-1 sold by the foot) on your trailer for this circuit would be better, but most likely either your assemblies are out of adjustment or you have an insufficient ground.

Brake mounting flange # 4-34 is the correct flange for the brakes. However, welding on a brake mounting flange is a precision job that should be performed by a qualified professional. If the trailer is staying off road though it may not be as big of a concern. For a spindle you will want to use # R104BTREZ since it was made to work with inner/outer...

The only brakes we offer that have the clip like this are 7 inch, part # 23-47 and # 23-48. The clip may come off but will probably not hold well if you try to use them again.

- Electric Trailer Brakes for a Floe Snowmobile Trailer with 2,200 Pound AxlesThe axle you have that can take brakes probably has a 4-bolt mounting pattern for the brakes. You could use Dexter brakes # 23-48 for the right and # 23-47 for the left. If the mounting flange doesn't take a 4-bolt assembly let me know. In addition to the brakes themselves you will also need wiring, maybe a different trailer connector depending on what the trailer has now (if the trailer has a 7-Way then you would not need to change connectors), and the vehicle will need to have a brake...

Great question ! I did a seasonal maintance inspection and cleaning on my electric break axle at the end of March.All of the break Assembly look excellent.I used W D 40 and Scottsbrite to remove any light corrosion.I used 400 grit sand paper on the hubs where the shoes meet the hub surface.I will reassemble the hubs next fall when I use the trailer again for snowmobiling.
