Thanks for reaching out!
It looks like your 1998 Coachmen Catalina 298FK travel trailer has tandem axles and is rated for 5,335 lbs so I would guess you have 3,500 lb axles. This means you'll want part # AKEBRK-35-SA for electric self-adjusting brakes or the part # AKFBBRK-35 for hydraulic brakes.
I recommend checking the specs on your trailer to make sure this is accurate. If you are unsure of the trailer axle weight rating you can see what the rating is if you look at the sticker located in the middle of the axle.
Attached are some videos for you to check out as well.
