The staff at eTrailer.com are very helpful and knowledgeable - ask if you're unsure. I originally ordered through the Internet and received the wrong products - because I neglected to ask questions. The return went smooth, but I had to pay for it (my error). The next round arrived well packaged (externally), but there was thin packing tape all over the outside of the hubs and some on the inside rubbing surface of the hubs. It took some doing to get it all off. There was a little rust on the non-contact surfaces of the hub as well as on the brake housing. On the brake housing, you can see some rust in the pic. Looks like it may have been rebuilt. This doesn't seem to have any effect on its operation though. Seals, Races & Bearings are super clean and fit perfectly. I installed these brakes onto the existing '4.5 on 5' flange on a 2000 pound axle (on a 2004 Aliner LX Classic Pop-up trailer). It came with the bolts to attach to the flange, but be sure to order the adjuster grommets, lock washers and 7/16x20 fine thread nuts, since it doesn't come with them. Once I got the wiring set up properly, it works exactly as it should. I prewired the setup prior to delivery. My error was that I assumed the only wire I'd need to run was the blue (brake) wire, but there are two wires on the brake housing as you can see in the picture. Either one goes to the blue (doesn't matter which) and the other attaches to the neutral (white) wire that goes back through the trailer's main wiring harness. Simply attaching the wire to the trailer frame (ground) like I initially did as seen in the picture looked like a good clean setup and easy solution to my one-wire mistake. Unfortunately, it DID NOT WORK. The secondary (neutral) wire must be detected by the tow vehicle's brake controller. Plan ahead and buy the blue and white primary wires (20 feet of 14 or 16 gauge will work) and run them next to each other before hand. Be sure to house the wires in 'plastic split loom tubing' so they don't rub against anything and zip tie them to the frame, so they're not hanging or in the way of anything. Happy braking. :-)

Exactly what I needed to install new brakes on my 13' Scamp Travel Trailer with EZ Lube spindles and electric brakes. It's fairly easy to install. Only four bolts hold the backing plate to the flange on the axle. The hard part is getting the old brakes off. On my rig, they must have installed the original OEM brakes with an impact wrench at the axle factory. Eventually, using muscles and penetrating oil, I got the old nuts off and installed the new brakes. The nuts were on pretty tight. Make sure you order new nuts, lock washers, and brake adusting hole plugs. They don't automatically ship with the new brakes. Perhaps many people just reuse the one ones. Now, I have new electric brakes and hubs on my RV.

The items went onto my Aspen Classic trailer fairly easy. The only glitch was that I received axel caps that were too large. Once I notified the company, I received the correct caps rather quickly and finished up the install.

After getting the incorrect axel caps and quickly getting the issue corrected, the product has met my expectations. I installed all myself and was pretty easy and straight forward.

Three out of four brakes (two LH and one RH) work properly. The fourth one is overheating. It's not a bearing problem -- it's a brake problem.

We towed the camping trailer all over Florida in February and March. All the brakes worked great!



by:

The part was exactly what I needed. Delivery was very quick, 2 work days. The price for the entire brake assembly was less than an auto parts store quoted Me for one piece of the assembly. Yes it was less expensive to buy the assembly, than to buy just the magnet. The sales clerk for the assembly was very helpful and sincere. The clerk told Me after I had placed the order that I would receive parts at the good price, delivered, with no extra freight charge. I was very pleased when I received the parts and they fit very well. I will be contacting them again. I have owned and operated my repair shop for over 40 years. It is so nice to talk with a most Pleasant order clerk and receive exactly what I needed. The clerk was patient and very helpful. Thanks for the Good Service !

I'm giving ETRAILER an excellent review for there dedication to making sure I received a quality product on time.

The 23-48 brakes are an excellent replacement on my 1997 Coleman Fleetwood Bayports popup camper that I am close to finishing a restoration process on. They fit perfectly! Very happy to purchase an excellent product from the fastest shipper I have ever come across. I am blown away by the professionalism with this company!
Thanks

Everything arrived earlier than I expected. Install of electric brakes went smooth no problems at all. Thinking on adding some brakes to my Motorcycle trailer next. Be sure be back here to purchase again when I do. Also great response to order progress and update emails.



by:

Installed the Dexter 7 inch electric brakes on my pop up camper replacing old. They were a perfect fit and have plenty of stopping power. Order was also received in a timely fashion.



by:

Still working on adjusting them to work with the brake controller but they did stop the tires when not connected to the vehicle and jacked up.



by:

Having read reviews before ordering, I knew I needed to order lock washers and nuts. But seriously, you can't include them? Just bump up the price accordingly. That way no one will forget / not know to order them. Great prices and fast delivery. Works perfect.



by:

Exact Fit for my 1995 Coleman Pop-up, identical to the Dexter Electric Brakes that I was replacing. Excellent customer service, documentation and rapid delivery. Etrailer has been excellent for all my needs.

The 7 in Dexter electric brakes are a great direct fit off my old rusted brakes. These brakes saved me so much time allowing me to get to the camp sites faster.

  • Is Dexter Trailer Brake Set part # 23-47-48 part Number 23-47 and 23-48
    The Dexter Trailer Brake Set part # 23-47-48 is just the # 23-47 assembly and the # 23-48 assembly like you stated. Our pricing does fluctuate somewhat and it usually has to do with previous sales and current stock. If I were you I'd go with the part number that gives you the best deal!

  • Comparing Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-173-16UC3 with # 8-276-5
    Basically, an electric brake assembly is going to be a 7 x 1-1/4 inch while a hydraulic brake assembly will be a 7 x 1-3/4 inch. If you are using electric brakes on the trailer, go with Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly, # 8-173-16UC3. For hydraulic drum brakes, use Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly, # 8-276-5.

  • Parts Needed to Add Brakes 2,000 lb Trailer Axle with 5 on 4-1/2 inch Bolt Pattern
    For a 2,000 lb trailer axle we do have hub/drums with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern that will fit and work well and are compatible with 15 inch wheels like you have. For that you'd want the # AKHD-545-2-1K for the hub/drum that will fit on your axle and then for brake assemblies you'd want the # 23-48 for the right hand side and # 23-47 for the left hand side.

  • Which Trailer Spindle and Brakes Are Used with Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly, # 8-173-16UC3
    For Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly, # 8-173-16UC3, you can use BTR EZ Lube Spindle, # TRU44FR. For bakes, use # 23-47 and # 23-48. When adding brakes to a trailer, you will need to make sure the trailer has a brake mounting flange welded to the axle. If they do not, you can add them and the welding will need to be done by a qualified professional welder. We have several mounting flanges, depending on your specific needs. You can find them using the link provided in the electric drum brake...

  • Parts Needed to Add Electric Brakes to a Dexter Torflex #9 Axle?
    Most 7 inch hub drums aren't compatible with 14 inch wheels, but the Dexter # 8-257-5UC3-EZ is an exception because it will adequately support the wheel. This hub uses the L44649 inner and outer bearing which is compatible with the spindles on your Torflex # 9 axle beam. The bearings, races, grease seal, grease cap and lug nuts are included. The hub/drums are sold individually. You'll also need a left hand brake assembly, like # 23-47 and a right hand like # 23-48. The assemblies have...

  • Can 7 Inch Hydraulic Trailer Brake Drums be Used with Electric Brakes
    The Dexter hubs for hydraulic brakes # 23-399 and # 23-398 indicate that they are for use with hydraulic brakes only so you would not use them with electric brakes. The inside surface where a brake magnet would stick (called the armature surface) is not the correct design for electric brakes. In order to go to electric brakes you would also need to change the hubs. To keep the same bolt pattern you can use hub # 8-173-16UC3. And then you would need brake assembly # 23-48 for the right...

  • Brake Mounting Flange Recommendation for a 2k Rated Trailer Axle
    What you will want to do is purchase the part # 4-34 as this is a brake mounting flange designed for 2k axles. The brake mounting flange needs to be welded on perfectly square and concentric and if it is off just a little bit, this can lead to all kinds of problems with trailer ride, stability, tire, and suspension wear. We strongly recommend that brake flanges be welded on by a professional shop that routinely works on trailers and has the equipment required to weld the flange to the spindle.

You are off to a good start with the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System - Spindle w/Brake Flange item # ASR1200S04. These weigh around 50 lbs. However, the brakes you linked item # 23-48 are for 7" hubs and we do not have any that will fit the Timbren systems so you will need to go up to 10" hubs and drums.

  • Dimension Of Brake Mounting Flange For 7 Inch Electric Or Hydraulic Brakes
    It sounds like you need the brake mounting flange that needs to be welded to the axle. You will need to know the diameter of your axle to make sure you choose the correct brake mounting flange. If you have a 1-3/4 inch round 2,000 lb axle, the brake flange you need is part # 4-34. This has a 4-bolt mounting pattern with a center hole that measures 1.64 inches diameter. This will work with 7 inch brake assemblies like part # 23-398 for hydraulic and part # 23-48 for electric brakes. If...

  • Can a 2,000 Pound Trailer Axle be Fitted with Electric Brakes and 10 or 12 Inch Wheels
    You would need to step up to a 3500 pound set up to get an axle that comes with brake mounting flanges. You could have brake mounting flanges welded to a 2K axle if you wanted but it is a precision job that requires the proper equipment and someone who has performed this job before. So for example you could use axle # T20BTR-6048 with hub and drum assembly # 8-257-5UC3. then you would need brake mounting flange # 4-34 and brake assemblies # 23-47 and # 23-48. The hub and drum assembly...

  • Do Trailer Drums have to be Machined or Turned when Replacing Brake Assemblies
    Hubs and drums that can be turned (machined) will have a specification on how much they can be turned cast into the metal of the drum somewhere. Otherwise it is at the brake shop's discretion. Drums do not have to be turned unless there is some kind of problem such as an uneven interior surface where the pads ride. If you are just replacing the brakes and the insides of the drums appear to be fine then you should not have to have them turned.

  • Adding Electric Brakes to 1999 Jayco Pop-Up Camper Trailer
    Jayco offered its 1999 Pop-Up camper trailer with and without brakes. Typically pop-up campers are equipped with electric drum brakes. It is likely that the brakes are bad or there is a wiring issue on your 25 year old trailer. Hopefully you have a brake controller. If there was a wiring issue or if there were no brakes on the trailer at all, then the brake controller should have indicated so. First you want to determine if you have brakes or not (hub and drum vs. idler hubs). An idler...

    The Dexter Hub/ Drum you mentioned, part # 8-173-16UC3 would be a proper replacement for you as long as the inner and outer bearings in your existing hubs are # L44649, the grease seal is # 10-9 and the 4-on-4 bolt pattern matches up with your existing hubs. Your existing bearings and grease seals should have reference numbers stamped on them, make sure the numbers on the existing parts match those of the replacements.

  • 2003 Coleman Fleetwood Utah Replacement Brake Assemblies and Bearings
    From previous customers with your 2003 Coleman Fleetwood we've been able to determine that your trailer has 2,200 lb Dexter axles. The bearings you would need are # L44649 for the inner and outer and then for a seal # 10-9. For brake assemblies you would need part # 23-47 for the left and part # 23-48 for the right. These are manual adjust assemblies but there isn't a self adjusting set that fits your size. I know you didn't mention it, but if you needed to hub drums you would need part...

    The 8 inch diameter wheel on your Coleman Fleetwood pop-up camper is not large enough to accept an electric brake hub and drum assembly. Seven inch brake assemblies like # 23-48 that you selected work with the Trailer Hub & Drum Assembly, item # 8-257-5UC3, which will fit in wheels starting at 10 inches in diameter. You would need to upgrade your wheels and tires to either a 5.30-12 load range c wheel and tire combination, or a 205/65-10 load range c wheel and tire to meet the capacity...

For a hub and drum you would want the part # 8-173-16UC3. This will fit your spindle and wheels as it has a 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern. For brake assemblies you would want the part # 23-48 for the right hand side and part # 23-47 for the left hand side. For a breakaway kit you would want the part # 20099.

    If your existing hubs use a L44649 bearing with an ID of 1.063, we have a solution for you. You'll want to measure the ID of your existing bearings to confirm. A digital caliper like # PTW80157 is an easy way to get an accurate measurement of your bearing's inner diameter. If your existing hubs use the L44649 bearings, you can use the Dexter # 8-173-16UC3 which is compatible with a standard spindle or # 8-173-16UC3-EZ compatible with an EZ lube spindle.

  • Parts Needed to Change Hydraulic Trailer Brakes Over to Electric Brakes on a 1997 Jayco Tent Trailer
    You will need two of the 7 inch electric brake assemblies, one right hand, # 23-48, and one left hand, # 23-47. You will also need an appropriate length of 10 gauge wire, item # 10-2-1, for running the wires to the trailer connector at the trailer coupler. Next, you will need a trailer connector to match the wiring on your vehicle, or the wiring you will need to install on your vehicle, to activate the electric brakes.

    Yes, you can replace the factory brake controller in your 2014 Dodge Ram pickup with a superior aftermarket unit.

For a reliable brake controller I suggest the Prodigy P3 # 90195 which will install in your truck using wiring adapter # 3023-P.

  • 72 inch Trailer Axle with 2k Capacity and Hub/Drums to Match
    We have 72 inch axles that are 2k rated with idler hubs as a single part number but none that have the hub/drums on them so you'd need to order an axle with spindles only in that configuration and then add the hub/drums and assemblies like with the # T20BTR-7258 and then hub/drums # 8-257-5UC3 and then for assemblies # 23-47 and # 23-48. Then for a wheel and tire that's 15 inch with the bolt pattern you are needing the part # AM32418DX would be a great option.

  • Can Brakes be Added to 2,000 lb Axle without Brake Flanges
    I would check first to see if you do have brake flanges before going forward buying parts because if you do that would make it pretty easy. Otherwise you could look into having flanges welded on as that's an option too. We have them with part # 4-34. You'll need to find a welder with the correct jigs for this job. If you can get me the brand, capacity, and axle style of what you have I can see if we have a lift for it. We have the parts needed to add brakes to a 2,000 lb axle as well....
