Replacement Brake Assemblies for a 2015 Forest River R-Pod 179 Travel Trailer
Question:
Looking for replacement brake assemblies for 2015 R-Pod 179. Your site has multiple types of brake assemblies listed starting with Item # 23-468-469. Do they all fit? Multiple Dexter brake assemblies with different item number all fit? Seems odd. Please let me know which one or ones will fit my trailer. Thank you!

Yes, they do. The ones you were looking at, item # 23-468-469, are Dexter's Nev-R-Adjust brakes. This set of left and right hand assemblies are the top of the line option for your 2015 R-Pod 179 trailer. Once you install them and they get broken in you will never have to mess with them again.
If you are wanting the most affordable option, then I would go with the etrailer Electric Trailer Brake Kit item # AKEBRK-35. This is still a great set of brakes they just won't have the self adjusting feature and the braking material is slightly thinner so you will need to replace them before the Dexter brand brakes.
If you have a parking brake you will want to go with the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit w/ Parking Brakes item # K23-086-087-00.
I have linked a couple of installation videos below so you can see how to get the new brake assemblies installed.
