etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes for AL-KO Axle
Question:
Hi there, I just purchased a new-to-me Flagstaff A-Frame camper. I have attached a photo of the AL-CO axle mfg sticker. It says 2200#. I looked at the brakes with the hubs off and the shoe distance measures 10. I was thinking that a 2200# axle would take 7inch brakes but I guess not. The existing brakes are working, but will not lock up the brakes at slow speed using 100 power on the controller. I am thinking maybe I should just change the brakes, they are not that expensive and then I will start with something new. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for including the picture! The brakes you were looking at the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 3,500 lbs item # AKEBRK-35-SA would work great with your Flagstaff A-Frame camper. They are self adjusting and fit AL-KO axles like your 2,200 lbs one. I do agree replacing the brakes and starting from scratch would be the best way to go.
