The brakes on our 2001 Coleman Sante Fe were bad and needed replaced. We found this on etrailer.com and what a God send, This is a complete package deal, all new brakes, plate, bolts electro-magnet, wires, springs. Hoot and holler. 4 bolts and it was on, perfect factory replacement. Thank you etrailer.com, you all are wonderful. Easy to replace, just allow the time. Repack the bearings and replace the seal. . . . . u wall a. . . like new. Works like new. . .

Three out of four brakes (two LH and one RH) work properly. The fourth one is overheating. It's not a bearing problem -- it's a brake problem.

We towed the camping trailer all over Florida in February and March. All the brakes worked great!

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. :-)

Exactly what I needed to install new brakes on my 13' Scamp Travel Trailer with EZ Lube spindles and electric brakes. It's fairly easy to install. Only four bolts hold the backing plate to the flange on the axle. The hard part is getting the old brakes off. On my rig, they must have installed the original OEM brakes with an impact wrench at the axle factory. Eventually, using muscles and penetrating oil, I got the old nuts off and installed the new brakes. The nuts were on pretty tight. Make sure you order new nuts, lock washers, and brake adusting hole plugs. They don't automatically ship with the new brakes. Perhaps many people just reuse the one ones. Now, I have new electric brakes and hubs on my RV.

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.

After getting the incorrect axel caps and quickly getting the issue corrected, the product has met my expectations. I installed all myself and was pretty easy and straight forward.

I'm giving ETRAILER an excellent review for there dedication to making sure I received a quality product on time.

Parts arrived early and installed perfectly. Love the quality and ease of install.
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 !

Everything arrived earlier than I expected. Install of electric brakes went smooth no problems at all. Thinking on adding some brakes to my Motorcycle trailer next. Be sure be back here to purchase again when I do. Also great response to order progress and update emails.
by: Doug J.07/25/2014
The 23-48 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

Installed the Dexter 7 inch electric brakes on my pop up camper replacing old. They were a perfect fit and have plenty of stopping power. Order was also received in a timely fashion.
by: Tanner B05/22/2014
The 7 in Dexter electric brakes are a great direct fit off my old rusted brakes. These brakes saved me so much time allowing me to get to the camp sites faster.

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: Jeff K.03/13/2015
Still working on adjusting them to work with the brake controller but they did stop the tires when not connected to the vehicle and jacked up.
by: Fast-Eddie07/12/2013
Exact Fit for my 1995 Coleman Pop-up, identical to the Dexter Electric Brakes that I was replacing. Excellent customer service, documentation and rapid delivery. Etrailer has been excellent for all my needs.
by: HH04/04/2014
Having read reviews before ordering, I knew I needed to order lock washers and nuts. But seriously, you can't include them? Just bump up the price accordingly. That way no one will forget / not know to order them. Great prices and fast delivery. Works perfect.

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

Perfect fit on a 1996 Palomino Mustang PUP trailer. Looked identical to factory brakes.

- How To Add Surge Brakes to a Small Trailer Towed by Harley MotorcycleWe have a help article that I attached that details exactly everything you will need to do to install surge brakes on your trailer. Check it out.
view full answer... - Hitch and Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2016 Mazda CX-5We sell hub/drums with 4 on 4 inch bolt patterns like the part # 8-173-16UC3 which would then call for brake assemblies part # 23-48 for the right hand side and part # 23-47 for the left hand side. If you are still in the process of shopping for a pop up I would recommend you find one with brakes already installed so that you don't have to install them yourself. I attached a help article on adding brakes to a trailer. For a hitch for your 2016 Mazda CX-5 you would want the Draw Tite part...

There are different 5 lug bolt patterns. Use the FAQ I have linked to measure for bolt pattern so you can get the correct hub and drum assemblies. If you do not have EZ Lube axles, you will not need EZ lube hub and drum assemblies. If you do have L44649 inner and outer bearings and the seal has a 1.987 outer diameter and 1.5 inch inner diameter,...

Our pricing does fluctuate somewhat and it usually has to do with previous sales and current stock. If I were you I'd go with the part number that gives you the best deal!
view full answer... - Adding Electric Brakes to 1999 Jayco Pop-Up Camper TrailerJayco offered its 1999 Pop-Up camper trailer with and without brakes. Typically pop-up campers are equipped with electric drum brakes. It is likely that the brakes are bad or there is a wiring issue on your 25 year old trailer. Hopefully you have a brake controller. If there was a wiring issue or if there were no brakes on the trailer at all, then the brake controller should have indicated so. First you want to determine if you have brakes or not (hub and drum vs. idler hubs). An idler...

- Best Way to Add Electric Drum Brakes to 2000 Coleman Taos CamperYou can add electric drum brakes to your trailer either by having brake flanges welded on or by changing out the axle, as you suggested. I agree this is the better option for both cost and safety reasons. Installing a new axle will save you labor time as compared to modifying yours. You can start off with a review of the linked article which covers this subject in detail. You will need a new axle rated appropriately for the trailer (and of the correct dimensions), brakes assemblies, hub/drums,...
view full answer... - Trailer Brake Hub/Drum Compatible w/ 23-47 and 23-48 Brake AssembliesThe hub/drum you need will depend on the reference number that's stamped on your inner and outer wheel bearings. If your inner and outer bearings are L44649, then you can use # 8-257-5UC3-EZ for an EZ Lube spindle (with the grease zerk on the end of the spindle) or # 8-257-5UC3 for standard spindles. If your inner and outer bearings are L44643, use part # AKHD-545-2-1K. All the hub/drums mentioned above are compatible with the brake assemblies you mentioned.
view full answer... - Comparing Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-173-16UC3 with # 8-276-5Basically, an electric brake assembly is going to be a 7 x 1-1/4 inch while a hydraulic brake assembly will be a 7 x 1-3/4 inch. If you are using electric brakes on the trailer, go with Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly, # 8-173-16UC3. For hydraulic drum brakes, use Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly, # 8-276-5.
view full answer... - Can Trailer Hubs That Are Rusted Continue to Be Used with New BrakesYes, you can still use these hubs with the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly # 23-48. Surface rust is to be expected. As long as there is no extensive rust compromising the structure or grooves in the surface then you are good to use them.

This assembly works only with 1-1/4 inch brake shoes, not 1-3/4 inch shoes and has a 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern. I have included a link to a video review of this item.

- Replacement Hub and Drum Recommendation for a Dexter 2k AxleSounds like you have a 2,000 lb Dexter Axle like the part # T20BTR-6048 which take inner and outer bearings L44649 and would use the part # 8-257-5UC3-EZ for a hub/drum that has a 5 bolt pattern or part # 8-173-16UC3-EZ for a 4 bolt mounting flange. For brake assemblies you would want the # 23-48 for the right hand side and part # 23-47. Before you order any parts you would want to pull a hub from your trailer to verify that both bearing numbers are L44649.
view full answer... - Spindle, Brakes, and Mounting Flange for Use with Trailer Hub and Drum # 8-173-16UC3The hub and drum assembly, # 8-173-16UC3, and electric trailer brakes # 23-48 and # 23-47 are compatible with each other so they will work together. 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...

Most people will use a needle nose pliers and open the spring enough to lift it out of the hole. The clip you sent the photo of is not offered as a separate item. 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. If you are working on a trailer like a mobile home trailer, welded on brakes were very common....

- Which Hub with Bearings L44649 Can work with Trailer BrakesWhile the idler hub part # 8-258-50UC1 will fit on your axle it can't be used with brakes as it does not have a drum attached to it. So instead you'd want the # 8-257-5UC3 which is the version of this hub that has a brake drum attached to it. For brake assemblies you'd then need the part # 23-47 for the left hand side and part # 23-48 for the right hand side. I also attached a link to a help article that covers adding brakes to a trailer for you to check out as well.

You are off to a good start with the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System - Spindle w/Brake Flange item # ASR1200S04. These weigh around 50 lbs. However, the brakes you linked item # 23-48 are for 7" hubs and we do not have any that will fit the Timbren systems so you will need to go up to 10" hubs and drums.

- Recommended Electric Trailer Brakes for 1900-lb Lippert Axle with 4-Bolt Brake FlangesWe can help you select suitable electric brake assemblies to match your trailer. The features you need to match up are the axle capacity, brake flange type and the width and diameter of your existing hub/drum assemblies. You also need to be sure to choose both left- and right-handed brakes. The linked article on electric drum brakes will be helpful. Electric brakes for a 2000-lb-rated axle are 7-inch diameter with either a 1-1/4-inch or 1-3/4-inch drum width. All brakes shown on the linked...

This will use a surge brake actuating coupler or an electric over hydraulic actuator.

Even though water and electricity do not mix well, many boat trailer makers now specify electric drum brakes; the key...
view full answer... - Can a 2,000 Pound Trailer Axle be Fitted with Electric Brakes and 10 or 12 Inch WheelsYou would need to step up to a 3500 pound set up to get an axle that comes with brake mounting flanges. You could have brake mounting flanges welded to a 2K axle if you wanted but it is a precision job that requires the proper equipment and someone who has performed this job before. So for example you could use axle # T20BTR-6048 with hub and drum assembly # 8-257-5UC3. then you would need brake mounting flange # 4-34 and brake assemblies # 23-47 and # 23-48.

We sell the nuts individually as part # 6-17 and the lock washer as part # 5-8. You'll need four of each per brake assembly. Dexter doesn't include the adjuster hole plugs with the assemblies, those are sold separately as part...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 with Factory Brake ControllerIt is possible that you have an electric over hydraulic braking system on your trailer. Most OEM brake controllers are not compatible with electric over hydraulic actuators. If your trailer brakes are working, you may find your actuator is cycling on and off when connected to the truck and this will significantly shorten the life of the actuator. The Dodge factory brake controllers are designed to be used with electric trailer brakes only and are not designed to be used with electric over...
view full answer... - Do Trailer Drums have to be Machined or Turned when Replacing Brake AssembliesHubs and drums that can be turned (machined) will have a specification on how much they can be turned cast into the metal of the drum somewhere. Otherwise it is at the brake shop's discretion. Drums do not have to be turned unless there is some kind of problem such as an uneven interior surface where the pads ride. If you are just replacing the brakes and the insides of the drums appear to be fine then you should not have to have them turned.

You will also need an appropriate length of 10 gauge wire, item # 10-2-1, for running the wires to the trailer connector at the trailer coupler. Next, you will need a trailer connector to match the wiring on your vehicle, or the wiring you will need to install on your vehicle, to activate the electric brakes. I would recommend the Pollak trailer connector, item # PK12706, for...
