How to Pick Out Correct Parts for Adding Brakes to Pop Up Camper
Question:
Good afternoon, I am thrilled with your web site and really appreciate the services you provide. I am looking forward to become a customer at etrailer. Here is my inquiry I have a 2000 Coleman Cheyenne popup camper and I want to add trailer breaks. Can you provide me with a rundown of parts that I will need to complete this install? P.S. I have the 4 bolt flange on both sides.

It's a really good sign that you have brake mounting flanges on your spindle already. That means that your axle was setup to have brakes installed. What you'll need to do next is determine what hub/drum will fit your trailer. You'll do this by pulling the bearings out of the hub or measuring the spindle where the bearings ride. With that info you can pick out the correct hub/drums and then from there know which assemblies you need.
If you check out the help article I attached you'll see a guide that will walk you through the entire process.
