Self-Adjusting Electric Brakes That Fit 2017 Palomino Columbus 383FB 5th Wheel Trailer

Question

Question:

I have a 2017 Palomino Columbus 383fb 5th wheel. getting ready to do some preventative maintenance, changing wheel bearings and upgrading the moryde shackles with the wet bolt kit. I am thinking since Im in there I might upgrade to self adjusting brakes. the current ones are original and I have never looked at them. Ive probably got 5-6,000 miles on the unit since purchased. Will the AKEBRK-7-SA be the right ones to order? what else would I need, I plan on reusing hubs and drums also, what would be the correct grease seals to get. I already have Timken bearings and the Moryde upgrade kit.

Yep, you are on the money with the exact self-adjusting electric brakes that fit your 2017 2017 Palomino Columbus 383FB 5th wheel trailer, which are the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting # AKEBRK-7-SA.

The only other thing you will need with these brakes is the mounting hardware, which is the Mounting Bolts and Hardware for 12" Brake Assemblies # BRKH12.

In regards to a grease seal, what you need is the Grease Seal # GS-2125DL.

Then for grease I recommend the Prime Guard Wheel Bearing Hi-Temp Red Grease # L11380, and for a bearing packer I recommend the Bearing Packer # ALL647646.

The MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Thermostat item #MA00-06200K uses up to 5-Amps to operate when running and up to 9-Amps for startup. So probably between 90 - 100 hours if it was the only thing running and you left it on.

Hey Ted, so if you look in the bed of your truck and see 5 holes/pucks that would mean you have the OEM prep. I'd assume if you had it you'd have seen them by now. If you had it you'd only need a ball like the part #C60618. If you…
