Replacement Trailer Electric Brake Assemblies For a 2019 Grand Design Solitude with 7,000LB Axles

Question:

I have a 2019 Grand Design Solitude with 7,000 lb axles with self adjusting electric brake shoe brakes. I need to replace them, all four, with new complete assemblies including the backing plates, but not the drums. Please tell me a couple products you have for replacement that I can review. I am interested in better stopping power.

Your 2019 Grand Design Solitude having 7,000lb axles likely came with either the Dexter # 23-464-465 brake kit or the similar Lippert option. The Dexter brakes are made in the USA and contain one left and one right assembly for one axle so you will need to order 2 sets. I do feel these will give you the best stopping power as well.

I see you found our etrailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-7-SA which is also sold as a set. It is a more economical version of the Dexter I listed above. We do also have it available in a Dacromet # AKEBRK-7-D finish. This will better resist corrosion if you are constantly in areas with a lot of road salt or near the ocean.
