Question:

91 Fleetwood wilderness 28 ft 5th wheel. Well its 27 years old and I dont know if the brakes have ever been done. Last summer while towing I notice a noise while braking. Im sure it was the brakes. Anyway Im curious if these would be suitable. And if not would you please point out something that would be for my 5er.

I am fairly certain your 1991 Fleetwood Wilderness uses 10 x 2-1/4 inch brakes. But to be sure you can measure the inner diameter and depth of a drum. For a pair of brake in this size I recommend etrailer brakes # AKEBRK-35-SA which includes a left and right assembly. These are self-adjusting brakes that only require an initial adjustment at the time of installation. After that they will adjust themselves. I have linked a video featuring these brakes for you.
