Fast delivery, Rochelle was fantastic!

I am happy to say that my Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Assembly is working great. I especially appreciate how easy the installation was. My originals got really fried and left me with no trailer brakes going over the mountains.

I will have Customer Service reach out to you.

Received product today and it was packed in a very protective, sturdy container. There was excellent communication with Etrailer during the procurement process. I won't be unpacking the items for a bit but I'm very confident everything will be OK. You know, that gut feeling kind of thing. Thank you Etrailer.

Received exactly what I ordered in a very timely manner. Products were packed very well for shipping. Excellent service and great communication from the initial order all the way through to the final delivery. These folks know how to do business right and are great to do business with! Purchased these to have on hand to replace RV brakes when traveling. Had 2 brake sets break on our last trip and it cost us a lot of down time.



by:

Broke down on the side of the road. Manufactured told me $1,000 and two weeks for this part. A trailer had it overnighted, for a third of the cost !!!



by:

He trailer had the hard to get part that I was unable to obtain locally. I initially gave them an undeliverable address and they contacted me right away to get a better shipping address. Shipping was quite prompt.



by:

Can’t say enough nice things about the understanding and help I received after ordering the wrong brake assembly. In just a few minutes on the phone I had a return label and the correct part on its way. Excellent teamwork etrailer.

I’m very happy with the service from etrailer
Parts got here on time and were correct



by:

Excellent service and quick shipping - using entire assemblies made the job easier and quicker than replacing parts!

Quick shipping and excellent customer support. Brake assembly arrived in good shape as advertised.



by:

We didn't get these parts ordered until after 3 pm and yet we still received them the very next morning. Great Job!! Our customer was in a bind, and thanks to you we have a happy customer.

Product info made it easy to choose the correct part and very fast delivery. We're back in business!

  • Nev-R-Adjust Brake Assemblies for a 4400 lb Dexter Axle
    There are a few differences between the Dexter 3,500 lb brake assemblies and the 4,400 lb brake assemblies including the brake shoes, magnets, adjusters and adjuster springs. Because the 4,400 lb brake assemblies must be able to provide more stopping power than the 3,500 lb brake assemblies they will have upgraded components. The 4,400 lb brake assemblies also have a different bolt hole pattern on the backing plate to mount to the brake mounting flange on the axle than the 3,500 lb brake...

  • Picking Out Trailer Brake Assemblies that Have Bolt Pattern 2-7/8 inch by 2-7/8 inch
    The 2-7/8 inch square bolt pattern that you need is a very common bolt pattern for 4-bolt brake assemblies that are 10 inch in diameter. The # 23-454 that you referenced uses a smaller bolt pattern at 2-13/16 inch by 2-13/16 inch which was common for brake assemblies made before 2009. The # K23-478-00 that you also referenced does not use a square bolt pattern at all so what you'd really be in need of is # 23-27 for the right hand side and # 23-26 for the left hand side.

  • Can Self-Adjusting Brake Shoes Be Used On Manual-Adjusting Dexter Brake Assembly?
    I do not recommend using the self adjusting brake pads for your manual adjust brake assembly as they are not designed to be used together. If you want the self adjusting setup then you will want to go with Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Assembly - 10" - Left Hand - 4,400 lbs # K23-478-00 and Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Assembly - 10" - Right Hand - 4,400 lbs # K23-479-00.

  • Cushioned Equalizer Fit for 2015 Prime Time Lacrosse 318BHS
    Looks like you have a longer equalizer setup on your 2015 Prime Time Lacrosse 318BHS but I would need the length of the equalizer to ensure we get you the correct replacement. We do have the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers # LC314336 which appears to be what you are in need of. It measures 14-5/8 inches from the side holes and then 3-1/4 inches vertically so you'd need to measure yours to compare. This is a cushioned equalizer setup that will smooth out the ride quality of the trailer.

  • Can Electric Trailer Brakes for a 4,400 Pound Axle be Used in Place of Brakes for a 3,500 Pound Axle
    Electric trailer brake assemblies for both 3,500 pound and 4,400 pound axles are 10 x 2-1/4 inches and both have the 4 hole square mounting pattern. So you can use 4,400 pound axles brakes. For the left use # K23-478-00 and for the right use # K23-479-00. These are Nev-R-Adjust assemblies which means after you adjust them the first time you will not have to manually adjust them again.

  • New Brake Assemblies for Komfort Travel Trailer 23T24
    If you do have 10 inch brakes, I recommend the etrailer.com 10 Inch Self Adjusting Electric Brake Assembly # AKEBRK-35R-SA, # AKEBRK-35L-SA. The mounting flange has a 4 bolt pattern. These brakes automatically adjust as the brake pads wear so you do not have to manually adjust the brakes. I have attached a review video of these brakes for you. We also offer manual adjust brakes, such as etrailer.com 10 Inch Electric Trailer Brake Assembly # AKEBRK-35R and # AKEBRK-35L. These assemblies...

  • Availability of Electric Drum Trailer Brakes with 4-Bolt Mounting Flange
    Trailer brakes should be selected based on the axle weight rating to ensure they have the correct stopping power. All of our electric drum brakes that are rated for 5200-lb axles are the 12 x 2-inch size and use a 5-bolt mounting flange. We do have 4-bolt electric brakes in the 10 x 2-1/4-inch size that are rated for 4400- and 3500-lb-rated axles, such as # K23-478-00. You can see all of these on the linked page. Just click on the 4400-lb axle rating to see the left- and right-hand brakes...

  • Recommended Trailer Brakes for 2006 Bigfoot 21 FT Travel Trailer
    From the research that I have done it looks like a 21 ft Bigfoot is going to weigh about 4000 lbs so I am going to assume that it has 4400 lb axles. Since there is a very good chance that it has the 10 inch x 2-1/4 inch brake assemblies, you could use the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Brake Assemblies, # K23-478-00 for left hand and # K23-479-00 for right hand. Unfortunately a collective OEM trailer parts catalog does not exist, so the best way to determine what parts you will need is...

  • Brake Assembly Replacement Recommendation for Dexter Assemblies 36-19-47
    Based on what you described you have a standard 4-bolt trailer brake assembly bolt pattern. For brake assemblies that match that and the 4,400 lb axle capacity you have you'd want the part # K23-478-00 for the left hand side and part # K23-479-00 for the right hand side. For a brake flange you'd then want the part # 4-35 if you were also in need of that.

  • Replacement Brakes, Bearings & Seals for AL-KO 4400-lb Axles on 5-Year-Old Tandem Axle RV
    The # K23-478-00 and # K23-479-00 Dexter brake assemblies you mentioned are not compatible with your AL-KO T-44 axle. According to my contact at Dexter (AL-KO was acquired by them), the replacement brake assemblies for your AL-KO axle are now obsolete as they have been discontinued. The only option is to replace the axles on your RV. Since we don't carry any 4,400 lb axles, the closest rated axle we have (that would also match the 6 on 5-1/2 wheel bolt pattern found on the T-44 hubs)...

  • Replacement Brake Shoes for Roadmaster Tow Dolly
    The Roadmaster Tow Dolly # RM-2050-1 uses the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Assembly # K23-479-00 and # K23-478-00. For the replacement brake shoes, you will want the right hand side # K71-699-00 and left hand side # K71-698-00.

  • Wire Gauge for the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Assembly
    The wires on the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Assembly # K23-478-00 are 12 gauge wires. We recommend using 10 Gauge Wire # 10-1-1 from the trailer 7-Way connector to the brakes though to help ensure enough power gets to them.

  • Brake Assembly Replacement Recommendation for K71-125-00
    For an exact replacement for the assemblies of your trailer you would want the part # K23-478-00 for the left hand side and part # K23-479-00 for the right hand side. Brake assemblies are not what you'll use to make your braking more aggresive. For that you'd want to increase the gain setting of your brake controller as that's how you adjust the braking power higher.

  • Can the Dexter 4.4K Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brakes Be Purchased Individually
    Yes, the Dexter 4.4K Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # K23-478-479 can be broken down into the right side part # K23-479-00 and left side part # K23-478-00.

  • Axle and Suspension Replacement for 2011 Keystone Outback 260FL
    That is correct, replacement axles are going to be your best bet since those axles and most parts are discontinued. You don't want to go down in capacity so you're looking at moving to 5,200 lb replacement axles. In order to find the correct replacement you want to match your current axle length and if possible the spring seat measurement. The length is going to be the hub face to hub face measurement. See the video below which explains where and how to measure. If the spring seats don't...

  • Replacement Brake Assemblies for AL KO 4,400 Trailer Axle
    For 4,400 AL KO trailer axles the correct replacement brake assemblies are part # K23-478-00 for the left hand side and part # K23-479-00 for the right hand side. It is much easier to just replace the assemblies instead of trying to individually replace all of the components. It often ends up costing about the same as well.

  • Electric Brake Assembly Compatibility with T-44 4,400 lb AL-KO Axles
    The AL-KO company was bought out by Dexter, so he may have been thinking Dexter axles which the # K23-478-00 and # K23-479-00 would fit with the 4 bolt mounting pattern. The K23-538-00 and K23-539-00 are the correct ones for the AL-KO T-44 axle, as you mentioned but they have been discontinued. The only option is to replace the axle(s). Depending on the hub face and spring center dimensions of your existing axle and wheel bolt pattern, we may have what you need. I have included a link...

  • Comparing Dexter and etrailer Self-Adjusting Electric Trailer Brakes
    Brake assembly # K23-478-00 is a Nev-R-Adjust assembly. Like you said it is rated for 4,400 so it has a bigger magnet than a 3,500 pound assembly would have. The etrailer self-adjusting assembly is # AKEBRK-35L-SA rated for 3,500 pounds. One of the biggest differences besides price and capacity is the pad material. On the Dexter assembly the pad material is snapped off of a long strip of the material. On the etrailer assembly the material is actually cut. What happens when it is snapped...

  • Do I Have to Replace My Dexter Brakes With Dexter Brakes
    If you really liked the Dexter brakes and want to continue to use that brand I can help you find exactly what you are looking for. Otherwise, no, you do not have to replace the electric brakes on your trailer with the same Dexter brand. The Nev-R-Adjust Electric Brake Assemblies, part # K23-478-00 LH (driver side) and part # K23-479-00 RH (passenger side), from Dexter that you referenced are great options since you do not have to keep adjusting the brakes. These assemblies are 10 inches...

  • How to Determine Axle Capacity of Keystone Cougar High Country 5th Wheel
    The D44 on your axle tells me that you have a Dexter D44 axle, which has a 4400 lb capacity. Given that, and the length of the leaf spring you provided, the etrailer # e28SR would make for a good replacement spring. Increasing the capacity of your springs won't increase the weight bearing capability of your trailer. You'll still be limited by the axle capacity, the capacity of the tires, hubs, wheels, etc.

  • What Is The Axle Capacity On 35 Ft Camper With 16 Inch Tires And 8 Bolt Rims
    Your KZ 35 ft camper should have a plate or sticker on it that will list the VIN number. The weight rating of the axle should be listed on that plate or sticker. Also, the axle could have a tag or plate on it that will list the weight capacity. If you can locate the VIN, you can call the manufacturer to find out what the axles capacity is on your camper. Another way to determine the weight capacity is by measuring the diameter of the axle. Here is a list that will show the axle weight...

  • Will 10 Gauge Wire Fit Inside Axle Tubes For Powering Brake Assemblies?
    Yes, you can use 10 Gauge Wire # 10-1-1 to route through your axles to power your Electric Brakes # K23-478-00 Do be sure the Grommet # 046-124-00 is in place on your axle tube to prevent the wire from fraying entering the axle tube.
