I can help you replace the braking assemblies and bearings on your 2005 Fleetwood Gear Box ASV Travel Trailer. You most likely have 12 inch hubs so you need part # AKEBRK-7-SA for the braking assemblies. You want to measure your hub to be sure you have a 12 inch hub.

I am unable to narrow down the bearing numbers from the information you gave me, I would need to know the bearing numbers that are stamped into the bearings themselves. If you are not able to find the bearing numbers you can measure the spindle itself.

The bolt pattern on your hub is most likely a 6 on 5-1/2 but it is a good idea to be sure. I have attached an article to help you measure the bolt pattern. If you give me the bearing numbers, hub dimension and bolt pattern I can recommend a hub for you.

The 12" electric trailer brakes part # AKEBRK-7-SA fit a 5 bolt mounting flange which is pretty common. If your mounting flange bolt pattern is 6 bolt, then these brakes are not compatible but most brake flanges are 5 or 4 bolt. I have attached a photo of part # 4-44-1 5 bolt brake mounting flange for your reference. It sounds like you have a 6 on 5-1/2" wheel bolt pattern which does not matter when it comes to replacing the braking assemblies. The 6 lug bolt pattern you mention comes into play when you are trying to replace your hubs. If you need to replace the hubs, I would need the bearing numbers and hub dimension to help you further.
