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.

Craig

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



by:

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.



by:

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



by:

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:

Installed and worked great.

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:

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:

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.



by:

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:

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:

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:

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.



by:

Brakes fit great on my teardrop camper.

customer service is fantastic.



by:

Service was excellent. Parts arrived in 4 days. Dont have a picture but I purchased a set of brake assemblies for our tent trailer.



by:

I replaced the four old brakes on my son's motorcycle trailer with these and they seem to be working fine.



by:

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:

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:

Exact replacement for original. Well packed for shipping and worked without a hitch. Very pleased.



by:

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



by:

7 inch brake assembly and hubs arrived on time, and are already installed. Easy trouble-free. Quality product.

  • Can Electric Brakes Be Added to Dexter 2,200lb Capacity Idler Axle
    Brake 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.

  • Adding a Brake Axle to a 48 Inch Wide Home Made Travel Trailer on Harbor Freight Frame
    What 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 Trailer
    The 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...

  • Can Brakes be Added to 2,000 lb Axle without Brake Flanges
    I 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....

  • Replacement 7 inch Brake Assemblies for 2,000 lb Axle
    We 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.

  • 72 inch Trailer Axle with 2k Capacity and Hub/Drums to Match
    We 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.

  • Replacement Brake Assemblies for Trailer with 2,200 lb Trailer Axles
    For a 2,200 brake assembly the correct size is 7 inch like the part # 23-48 for the right hand side or # 23-47 for the left hand side.

  • Adding 7 Inch Electric Trailer Brakes to Trailer With Idler Hubs
    If your existing hubs use a L44649 bearing with an ID of 1.063, we have a solution for you. 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. For a brake assembly, use # 23-47...

  • Replacement Hub and Brake Assemblies for 1966 Fan Camper Trailer
    Does your spindle have a brake mounting flange thats either a 4 or 5 bolt mounting pattern? 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. Which means that the matching brake assemblies are part...

  • Trailer Brake Replacement Solution for Dexter #9 Axle
    The Dexter #9 Axle is a 2,000 lb rated axle so for brake assemblies you'd want the part # 23-48 for the right hand side and part # 23-47 for the left hand side. If you need new hub/drums as well you'd want the part # 8-257-5UC3 which would fit either side of the trailer.

  • Can Trailer Hubs That Are Rusted Continue to Be Used with New Brakes
    Yes, 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.

  • Electric Drum Brake and Controller Recommendation for 1200-lb Camper
    Let's start with your trailer. To add electric drum brakes to your trailer you will need to choose brake assemblies that match the mounting pattern on your existing flanges and that offer a capacity that matches your axle's rating. I suggest you start with a review of the linked article that covers the process of adding electric brakes and each of the components required. To keep costs down you might want to consider a complete axle kit such as # e43SR which includes the axle beam, brakes,...

    Assembling your braking system will be like putting together a jigsaw puzzle, you need to be certain that all the pieces will fit together. As a first step, you'll need to make sure your axle has a brake mounting flange. Next, you'll need to choose a hub/drum that uses inner and outer wheel bearings that are compatible with the spindles on your axle. Once we know which hub/drum you're using, you can then choose the correct electric brake assembly. The # 8-173-16UC3 hubs we currently offer...

  • Adding Hubs and Electric Brakes to Little Guy Trailer
    The first thing I recommend doing is making sure that the axle on your Little Guy trailer is equipped with mounting flanges for brakes. If not, these will needed to be welded in place by a qualified welder. Otherwise you will need to replace the axle with a properly rated unit that already has the brake flanges welded in place. I then recommend confirming that the etrailer.com Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-545-35-K you referenced is compatible with the spindles on your Little Guy...

    A Dexter 2,200 lb axle is going to have inner and outer bearings of L44649 so for a hub that has the same wheel bolt pattern as you and will fit you would want the part # 8-257-5UC3.

  • Can Drums from a Trailer with 7 Inch Hydraulic Brakes be Used When Converting to Electric Brakes
    You 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...

  • Replacement Brake Assemblies, Bearings, Seal and Hub for 2002 Coleman Fleetwood Pop Up
    Coleman/Fleetwood uses Dexter axles so I can help you pick out the parts you need for your 2,200 lb Dexter axle. 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.

  • Spindle, Brakes, and Mounting Flange for Use with Trailer Hub and Drum # 8-173-16UC3
    The 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...

    When you are removing the springs it can be a bit tough. 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....

    Yes, you can replace the factory brake controller in your 2014 Dodge Ram pickup with a superior aftermarket unit. Many owners who select the factory controller option ultimately end up with an aftermarket controller for one reason or another.

    The 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...

When adding brakes to a trailer, you will need to make sure the trailer has a brake mounting flange welded to the axle. If they do not, you can add them and the welding will need to be done by a qualified professional welder. We have several mounting flanges, depending on your specific needs.
