Jenny N - 09/09/2022I am restoring a 1972 Argosy that has been sitting in a field for 30 years. It was the first year Airstream made the Argosy, so it is extremely rare. The first task is to get it moveable and replacing the old non-adjustable electric brakes with the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust brakes at this time makes sense. I have pulled the wheel hubs, cleaned and repacked the bearings, put in new grease seals and almost ready to put the new wheels and tires on. etrailer website and staff have been extremely helpful in finding what I need and shipping it to me fast. Looking forward to many more orders as this restoration moves forward.
Another seamless project done. Don't know how many orders I made with etrailer.com but it was a lot. All of the trailer lights, Breaks, 7 pin, and all of the camper light, Hold downs ect are from etrailer. Fast shipping very few returns and the camper rear window was already put together which took a while to carefully take apart. Got it apart and installed it no problem. All in all it was a good place to get stuff for the build.
Replaced obsolete Warner brakes with the Dexter brake kit. Installation was incredibly easy after watching the video
Original order took 30 days to complete. There was an issue with another item in the order which delayed my install. When I went to install these brakes after finally receiving the correct parts on the rest of my order, the left brake was defective. (Almost cut my hand on it) It has now been 2 weeks since I informed them of the defect. The replacement part still has not shipped. I placed a separate order on the very same day, those items came this week.
Sierra K - 06/03/2022Installed these before taking a long trip up into the Colorado mountains. Amazing upgrade from my original brakes that kept locking up on me. Never having to manually adjust them is a big plus. Takes the guesswork out the picture.
I'm Out $500+, Etrailer sent wrong part. You can't return after 60 days :-(
I have a 2015 jayco jay flight Slx 145 RB. I called etrailer and ordered the brake and hub kits. The parts arrived promptly. I got covid so I didn't get to installing them right away. When I did, the hub wouldn't fit on the the axle. Now that the brakes are apart I can see that the original ones are 8-418 and etrailer sent me 8-247. My originals are 10" x 1-1/2" The ones they sent are 10"x2-1/4". Very disappointed with etrailer! You would think they could at least take them back with a restocking fee.
I was replacing the 20 year old electric brakes on my utility trailer and choose the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust electric trailer brake kit. The non Dexter brand cost less but after adding shipping and adding the nut kit they were the same as the Dexter brakes with free shipping and the nuts were included with the Dexter kit. This was one the easiest projects I have ever done. I had recently replaced the bearings so getting the brake drum off was a breeze. I used butt connectors with the heat shrink insulation wot connect the power to the bakes. I had thought this would be a two day project but did both sides in about 3 hours. And best of all, the new brakes function as they should, it was like I did not have electric brakes before. Again an easy and well worth it project.

Not happy at all about this purchase.
I have done extensive troubleshooting on these brake assemblies but they just don't provide adequate stopping power for the empty trailer much less with a load. Tried multiple vehicles even put a better quality plug than the brand new chinese one from etrailer. Telephone support twice and still no helpful suggestions.
Jenny N - 01/21/2022Everything fit just right wired up just fine takes a little while to break these things in but once they start biting they work really nice I did a little bit more than just replace the brakes I did the shocks, springs and equalizer then re-painted everything underneath too,pretty much rebuilt the entire suspension sure makes a difference. I'm including some before and after pictures here they're probably out of order but them's the berries folks !
The brake kits (2) wheels, were great, It was so much easier to replace everything (drum, shoes, bearings seals etc). The self adjusting brakes work great too, had to play with it a little to get it wright, but that’s easy on a small trailer (Casita). Let me tell you, if you go to a RV shop and have them replace brake shoes and check all other components, you will pay way much more than just replacing everything with new yourself. Oh, the bearing races are preset in the drum, so you don’t have to remove and replace the baring races (that can save a lot of time and effort and special tools).
Quick service and straight forward install on these brakes last fall. I took it for a drive to adjust the brakes but do not believe they are set to optimum settings, as yet. So far this year I have been unable to take it back out on the road due to other commitments, except to move it to a new storage facility. Hopefully next year I will get out on the road and set up the brakes better. If not I'll have to manually set them. Otherwise they appear to work as they should.
These trailer brakes have never worked. The tech told me they would improve with use but they didn’t. I have other trailers w brakes these are no better w these brakes than it was w/o any brakes!
Heather A - 09/23/2022Replaced the Axel Teknology made in China brakes that failed due to poor grease seals with Dexter brand made in USA. All parts made in a ISO 9001 facility. MAGA!
New brakes perform great.
Jim - 08/15/2019So the 4 brake kits and 1 loose tube of bearing grease were in a large box with some packing paper. The grease tube was ruptured lost in the carton. Good thing the brake kits are in individual plastic bags. I sent an email note on Sunday and within 4 hours had a response promising a new tube of grease. Got it in a few days. Great job all around except not packing grease safely.
Major issues! there is a fitment issue between the backing plate and the square axle flange. the backing plate has an area punched out to fit the flange but was a little small, causing the plate to mount at a slight angle to the axle. this caused issues with hub bearing which then blew out less than 2 miles from home.The other side had the same issue but held until i got home. assembling the brakes - they went together easily but did not fit well inside the drums. i adjusted down the brake as far as i could but they would not turn freely. i will be reordering again I need this boat in the water - after i figure out the correct fitting drum and brake assembly. this is the fourth time doing brakes and bearings on this trailer over 5 years with etrailer and i have always been satisfied. try again!
Shipped 2 left hand assemblies for one axle. Delayed on getting brake fixed on my trailer. Sent email to customer service. Waiting on response. Currently on hold on the phone for 20+ minutes trying to get resolution
Brooke M - 07/26/2022I Installed two sets on my 14 foot Trailer. In the mountains of NC, brakes dont seem to last on the truck. I use the truck and trailer for pick up and delivery of Ventracs, that weigh in at around 1500LBS. The trailer empty will actually stop the truck now. (I use the Redarc trailer brake controller).
Not having to constantly adjust them is a major plus also. I did wire both axles indepentanly of each other to the junction box. If I happen to have a wire get torn loose, I will only lose braking on one axle and not both.
They were a little expensive, but will save me from replacing the brakes on my truck twice a year.
Over all, I am glad I got the two sets.
Super easy install and they work great! I do have my doubts about the self-adjusting mechanism as the springs didn't seem to have enough force to turn the star wheel. I manually adjusted after installation but haven't put enough miles on the trailer yet to see if they are staying self-adjusted at this point.
Excellent product. Had minor grinding to perform to weld on axle
Plates. Would recommend to everyone installing brakes on a trailer. Was very surprised to have the quick turn around time from ordering and receiving. Will definitely use etrailer in the future. Thanks
Sam M - 11/12/2021brakes/hardware received in just 2 days! Lowest priced Dexter brakes I could find anywhere. Will continue to be my go to company for all my trailer needs.
I installed these on a tandem axle flatbed utility trailer, and they almost work too well! I use the trailer primarily to haul my Polaris RS1, and I wind up with the brake controller at or near the minimum setting.
I’m a one bay, one man operation and I see my customer nearly every week and he is still super satisfied with the brakes. While installing them the quality of the product very evident! I have a smaller trailer that I probably don’t need brakes on but if I decide to I’ll definitely be ordering the set from you all!!!
I called etrailer with little knowledge of the parts I needed for my project. I changed my boat trailer from old surge hydraulic brakes to electric. With the expert help of Bryan W. I received all the proper parts from brakes to bearings. I’m super satisfied with the support and products. I will recommend etrailer to anyone looking for great service
Etrailer readily assist in finding the right parts for my repairs. These brakes were incredibly easy to install and work very well. I haven't used them long enough to know, but I hope the self adjusting feature works as good as on my other vehicles.
