Can Hydraulic Brakes of Jayco Eagle 12LSO be Converted to Electric
Question:
I have a 2000 Eagle 12LSO with a brake actuator I drum breaks. I want to covert it to electric breaks. Is there a kit or parts you recommend?

Since you have hydraulic drum brakes installed already on your trailer all you need is the correct electric brake assemblies and you'll be able to easily make the conversion.
To pick out the correct brake assemblies for your trailer you need to know a few things.
You will want to measure the inner diameter of your hub/drums and the depth of the drums to determine what brake assembly dimensions you need. For example the part # AKEBRK-35-SA is a 10 inch by 2-1/4 inch thick brake assembly.
You also want to determine what the bolt pattern is of your assembly mounting flange. The standard size is 4 on 4 inch. You also want to determine the axle capacity of your trailer and go with an assembly that has the same rating, the # AKEBRK-35-SA has a 3,500 lb capacity.
I also attached a help article that covers what is needed to add brakes to a trailer for you to check out as well.
