How to Determine Correct Size & Capacity Replacement Trailer Electric Drum Brakes for Carson Rebel
Question:
I have a 2015 Carson Rebel FR142 camper. I am trying to find a part number for brakes for it. Cant get Carson to answer my emails. Is there some other way to find out what brakes will fit on it?

Your single- or tandem-axle Carson Rebel travel trailer uses electric drum brakes. Brakes comes in different sizes for different axle weight ratings. For instance, a 3500-lb-rated axle will typically use brakes that measure 10 x 2-1/4-inches, while a 2K-rated axle will usually have 7 x 1-1/2-inch brakes.
If you check the sticker/plate on your trailer's axle(s) you should be able to find the axle weight rating. This is what you will use to match new brakes. You will also want to confirm the brake dimensions by measuring one of the hub/drum assemblies. Please refer to the linked photo.
Once you've confirmed your axle rating and brake size you can use the linked page that displays all electric brakes. Click on your axle rating and drum/brake dimensions to see available products.
Both manual-adjust brakes like # AKEBRK-7-SA and self adjusting brakes like # AKEBRK-35-SA are available.
Be sure to choose both left- and right-side brakes for each axle and to make sure the brake mounting bolt pattern matches that on your brake flanges.
