Replacement Brakes for 2013 Heartland Gateway 3200RS with Tandem Axles
Question:
I have a 2013 Heartland Gateway 3200RS fifth wheel camper and need to replace all 4 electric brake assemblies. Can you tell me what part numbers I will need to buy? I believe they are 12”, but not 100 sure.

From what I was able to find, the 2013 Heartland Gateway 3200RS has a GVWR of 14000-lbs, so it would be most likely that the trailer has 5200-lbs or 7000-lbs axles; this size axle would have hubs that accept 12" brakes, so you're likely correct. If you can confirm that your axles have that capacity then they will take 12" brake assemblies.
To replace those old brakes I recommend using the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 5.2K to 7K # AKEBRK-7-SA, which are a self adjusting brake set that will provide you with fully bonded brake pads that will last longer than riveted brake pads. These brake assemblies don't come with mounting hardware so you'll need to add that with # BRKH12, and you'll need two sets of the hardware and brakes for a tandem axle trailer.
I've linked a review and installation video of these brakes for you to have a look at. If you have something other than 5200 or 7000-lbs axles then just let me know and I can get you the correct brake assemblies.
