Replacement Electric Brakes for 4,200 lb Axle on Coachmen Apex Nano Trailer
Question:
My axle is a Lippert axle, manufactured after 2009, not before. If the older unit will fit then perhaps I will try it. What is the difference?

Expert Reply:
Though I would not be able to answer for parts that are on your trailer now, it is a good idea for your brakes to match your axle's weight capacity. As for a replacement, I could not find a reference to the brakes you have now, and the only replacements that fit a 10" x 2-1/4" drum have a 4-bolt mounting flange or a very specific 4-bolt flange with 2.83" x 2.83" spacing. Since the brake kit you referenced has a 4-bolt flange do you have 2.83" x 2.83" spacing or need a different size?

Yes, it has a 4 bolt flange at 2.83" spacing. This would indicate it only fits 3500# brakes? I am in discussion with manufacturer to determine if correct axle was installed on this trailer.
