Based on the information I could find for your 2018 K-Z Sportsmen Classic 181BH travel trailer I see it is a 3,500LB axle and uses self-adjusting brakes. If you have the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit # 23-468-469 you will need the Left # K71-681 and Right # K71-682 Brakes Shoes for your axle.

The Replacement Shoe and Lining Kit # AKBRKR-S-10 you found is for the Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-35-SA. If you cannot identify the brake kit you have then you will want to replace the entire kit so you know you will be able to use the correct replacement shoes.
