To determine which electric brake assemblies to use on your 1999 Coleman Fleetwood Westlake, you will want to measure the inside diameter of the brake/drum and the depth of your hub. You also would want to know the axle capacity and wheel size to ensure compatibility. I was not able to find the axle rating from the information you provided. I have attached a photo for your reference.

For example the etrailer.com Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-35-SA are 10" assemblies that measure 2-1/4" wide. They are compatible with wheel sizes 13", 14", and 15" and the standard axle rating of 3,500 lbs. If you let me know this information, I can recommend braking assemblies for the Coleman Fleetwood.
