Replacement Brakes for 1983 Airstream Excella
Updated 04/12/2023 | Published 04/09/2023 >
Question:
I need trailer shocks and Dexter electric brakes for my 1983 Excella Airstream trailer. What do you have?

Expert Reply:
Based on an old brochure from Airstream it looks like you have 12" electric drum brakes like the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust # 23-458-459. These are 12" diameter x 2" wide brake assemblies with a 5 bolt brake flange pattern. I recommend double checking what you currently have to verify this information. As for shocks, everything indicates you have torsion axles. Unfortunately, we do not carry any shock kits for torsion axles.
