Recommended Replacement Self Adjusting Brakes For A Trailer With 5,200 Pound Axles

Question:

I have a travel trailer with 5200 lb axles with self adjusting electric brakes. NV# 121067. Can you tell if Item # AKEBRK-7-SA is the replacement item I need? If so, what other options fit as well?

With your trailer having a 5,200 pound axle, the etrailer.com Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting # AKEBRK-7-SA will definitely be the correct replacement. These use the standard 5 bolt pattern found on axles of this weight range and will measure 12" in diameter and is 2" wide. This will include both the left (driver) side and the right (passenger) side as well, so one set will cover one axle.

If you were looking for the American made Dexter brakes though, you will need the Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit # 23-458-459. This is technically rated up to 6,000 pounds, but will work and fit perfectly on you axles. This will also have the same 12" x 2" dimensions, 5 bolt pattern, as well as coming with a right and left side.
