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.

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.

- 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...

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...

- 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.

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.

- 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...

So you will not only have to change the brake assemblies but also the hubs and the wheels. If cost is not a factor then you can do all of this but it would be much easier to just replace the 7 inch brakes. If the brakes are not providing enough power there may be another issue to look at. Make sure the brakes are properly adjusted. To do this you will turn the adjustment wheel until you can hear a slight but constant drag of the...

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.

- 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.
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...

You also need to be sure to choose both left- and right-handed brakes. The linked article on electric drum brakes will be helpful.

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.

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.
