Question:

I have a 2015 Keystone Hideout 27DBS. It is twin axel. I can’t find how many assembly’s are in your kit. Are there 2 left side and 2 right side assemblies? Or do I need to purchase 2 kits? Thanks!

Expert Reply:

The Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-35 comes with two braking assemblies (one left and one right) which is enough for one axle. Therefore, if you have tandem axles and want to replace all braking assemblies you will need to order a quantity of two. Please note, the above features manual adjustments which means you must turn the star wheel every so often for even brake pad wear. If you don't want to have to worry about this then go with self-adjusting, the Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-35-SA.
