Choosing Replacement Brakes for 1995 Dutchman Classic Camper
Question:
I have a 1995 Dutchmen Classic 35 that needs the brakes replaced, I am pretty sure the brakes are 10inch x 2.25inch but I am not positive and I have no idea what kind of brakes are currently on it. Will any brake assembly with the correct measurement work?

Expert Reply:
From what I found on your 1995 Dutchmen Classic 35 I think you're probably right that it has 10 x 2-1/4 inch brakes. You should measure the inside of the drum to be sure. The other thing to verify is that the brake mounting flange (where the brakes are bolted to the axle) has 4 bolt holes.
Beyond that the type of brakes is up to you. I recommend an etrailer kit, part # AKEBRK-35-SA if you do indeed have 10 inch brakes on your camper. These are self adjusting so you only to adjust them when you install them. They're also labeled left and right to make it a little easier.
You'll probably need new nuts and lock washers as well. Use part # BRKH10B because they're not included with the brakes.
