Question:
I recently acquired an early 90s Viking 2470 pop-up with a 4-bolt 2200# Torflex axle, 13inch wheels, and a 2500# gvwr. I dont know the history and Im replacing the electric brake assemblies, bearings, tires, etc. Is there any difference between these brakes and the Dexter Axle Trailer Brakes - 23-47-48inch for 2000# trailers other than the inclusion of the manual parking brake control? Im not against spending the extra $60, but my pop-up doesnt have a manual parking brake and I dont anticipate installing one. Thanks

As long as you have 7 inch x 1-1/4 inch drums on your newly acquired trailer, there is no reason you can't install the Dexter Electric Brake Kit # 23-47-48 for 2,000 Pound Axles instead of the # K23-103-104-00 that you referenced for 2,200 Pound Axles.
Both brake assemblies are the exact same size, are compatible with 10, 12 and 13 inch wheels, and feature a 4 bolt mounting flange pattern. You will just want to make sure this bolt pattern matches up to your existing mounting flanges. As you mentioned, the only real difference is the manual parking brake levers included with the # K23-103-104-00 Kit. Assuming the dimensions and bolt pattern match up to your trailer, the # 23-47-48 will work perfectly.
I have attached a short video demonstration on this set that you can also check out. The kit will include both the Left Hand and Right Hand assembly.
