Ratings & Reviews
I bought a trailer that had been home-fabricated using the axles from an old horse trailer. The axles had the remnants of electric trailer brakes, but the guts were missing. I was preparing to move from Pennsylvania to Montana, and intended to tow the trailer with a boat and some loose ends, and I wanted to have the security of brakes. Although I had never attempted to do an installation of this type, there were some helpful youtube videos to guide me. The installation went well, albeit slowly, mostly due to my inexperience, and the brakes proved to work well. The drive west was smooth, and the trailer has proved to be very useful out here. As far as I can tell, everything continues to work perfectly.
Received the brakes within 4 days.. Finally got around to installing them on my 5th wheel. Nothing to it..perfect fit. Will order again from etrailer!!
Perfect replacement for my 24ft Hallmark trailer. Very easy to install, just bolt on and connect the wires. With the automatic adjustment there is nothing else to do! I recommend putting some extra anti-seize to be on the safe side (I had similar brakes seize up after a big winter in the North East). Also you will need 2 plugs per assembly to cover the adjustment holes (the brakes don't come with any plug and have 2 holes!)
they look to be in order everything is here but do to weather I can't install them just yet so i'll have to get back to you
These are well built, easy to install brake assemblies. I had to adjust them after installation as they would not self adjust as the video states. They will be great if they do auto adjust as they wear. Price was great and they arrived in three days after my order. I will buy all my trailer parts from etrailer in the future.

Best brakes ever owned, they operate better than the orig. brakes and seem to stay adjusted very well. I never have to adjust and easy to install.
changed out both sides with new; bearings, seals, outside dust caps, and adjusting electric brakes: 1. parts were as described and fit, 2. easy to install new ones, and 3.they have been working fine without any problem. Great videos.

after one year - these products are working as they should, no need to adjust the brakes. Easy to install and worth the price.
Everything good with product. Shipping USPS sucks , stick with ups, Rachel was awesome.
The electric trailer brakes arrive within three days of ordering. The parts were a perfect fit. Etrailer' support is second to none! Helpful videos and live support available. The four trailer brakes were $100.00 less expensive than the nearest competitor and free shipping too!
happy with the product fit great
Item: 23-458: This item Is a replacement for my 5th wheel camper. Do to the fact while traveling the brake did not release and failed on interstate I-40 late in the evening.The heat caused all the parts on the spindle to fail. The cost of replacing brakes, drum, bearing, seals, grease, plus service cost is Very Expensive after hours. Having these items on hand can save a lot of time and money.
Etrailer parts are top quality and best online price.
Thanks

Great! I have recommended these item any times. Thanks, etrailer.com
I ordered a new electric brake assembly #23-458 and 12" drum kit #K08-201-98 for a 5200lb Dexter E-Z lube axle. All parts arrived on time and were correct. Ordering through Etrailer was fairly easy once I learned to navigate their site because there are a few variations to the parts I specifically needed for my axle. It helps if you have part numbers for your axle to compare with the ones on their site. I would liked to have had a place to enter my axle type, number, etc. and just have all the parts available for it displayed. Or perhaps an online chat page with a sales rep would be great too. All and all, I highly recommend and will definitely use Etrailer in the future.

Update: After a year and over 3500mi, my brakes appear to be working properly. With that said, I haven’t pulled my drums off for a thorough inspection. But so far so good.
Best thing about this brake kit is it's made in the USA. No hassle ordering and quick delivery. Did the front axle this month, doing rear axle next month.
quick shipping, easy to install. very p leased!
Perfect fit. Easy installation
Exact Fit. We travel extensively in our Airstream. We purchased these as spares and they stay in our tow vehicle. We always inspect all of the rotating assemblies but stuff happens. We have heard of too many stories of breakdowns where people get stranded for days/weeks waiting for parts. Hopefully it doesn't happen to us, but we would be back on the road in a couple of hours.
Excellent experience. Delivered on tim e!
E-Trailer had exactly what I needed and it shipped the same day.
I bought these brakes to replace the hydraulic brakes on my newly purchased (at DOD auction) M1102 trailer. The OEM eq was almost new (2010 model) but I wanted to remove the hydraulic surge brakes for electric. They are a perfect fit and easy to install. Would have been nice to have the dust covers for the back of the housing.
Excellent Service. Quick shipping. Correct brake assemblies.
My brake sets did not have the plastic adjusting plugs included. I had to purchase them separately at nearly $1 each. It appears they are now included.
Would I order from etrailer again. You bet your aluminum trailer, I will!
These went on very easy, and worked great right out of the box. It was nice to have them all match. I spliced them in a couple days before going on a 1,000+ mile vacation to Arizona. They've worked flawlessly (I check them to make sure they aren't hung up). This was just one headache eliminated for the trip by just getting new brakes instead of messing around with junky old ones. We've had the toyhauler out on several other trips also. I will purchase again if I need any for another trailer.

The brakes have been working great. After the initial installment and adjustment, I havent had to do any additional work to any of them. They are performing great, really better than I expected. I always test them with my brake controller when I first get back on the road and they have always worked. I have recd a few of my friends to buy any parts they need from your website as it was easy and had lots of options trailer stores around here are pretty limited.
Needed all 4 brakes for my 30 foot Airstream.
One arrived looking still new, but with minor scratches on the inside face of the brake and the lube worn off compared to the others. The plastic clip that holds the brake wire on the back was also broken off.
It could have happened in shipping, as that one box was a bit beat up, and the 5 fasteners that hold it to the frame were in a bag, but floating freely in the box.
etrailer offered to replace the whole brake assembly, which I appreciated, but did not feel necessary.
They sent the replacement clip and it snapped in as expected adn all is good.
I will buy again when time to replace!

I'm glad we could help turn this experience around for you Mike, and we appreciate the opportunity to make this right for you! I'd loved to see a photo of your Airstream if you'd like to share one!
Replaced old non-self-adjusting trailer brake assemblies with new self-adjusting ones. See photos of old & new. TIP: Temporarily tape new wires out of the way to avoid pinching them between the axle flange and backing plate when mounting the new brake assemblies (ask me how I know).

Brakes are still working great
I was hoping 10 years of technology would improve with the new back plate and shoe assembly, but it’s identical. Mostly, manual adjustment can’t be done with automotive brake tools as the two holes for adjusting do not line with the star adjuster.(misses it by 1/2 inch). The instructions don’t say to adjust manually after new install, but it’s the way I do it, otherwise it takes forever to auto adjust. Ken.
Very nice product but installation instructions could have been more complete
