Replacement 10" Electric Brakes for a 1995 Fleetwood 5th Wheel Trailer  

Question:

I have a 1995 fleetwood Terry 25-5k tandem axle 5th wheel. I am looking to replace the electric trailer brake assemblies. I cant find any information on this model on line other than specs NADA has but no GAWR. I do not know the actual axle weight rating because I just recently acquired the trailer. Going through paperwork I was given I found 1 reference for the GAWR at 4720. Someone penciled this into a blank on a flowchart calculating trailer weight calculations. Im not sure how much I trust it. The drums are 10. Tire rims are 16inch at the outside edges. Bolt pattern appears to be 2 3/4inch on center. What should I order?

Thank you for all of the info!

Since your current drums are 10" that means you need the 10" Self-Adjusting Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-35-SA.

If you're needing to get new hub/drum assemblies then we do have some replacements for you. The 2-3/4" measurement you took means that you have a 5 on 4-3/4" bolt pattern so I recommend using the assembly # AKHD-5475-35-EZ-K. With that being said, the most common bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2" and while 5 on 4-3/4" isn't impossible, it isn't very common so I recommend verifying your bolt pattern using the attached printout just to be sure. If it ends up being 5 on 4-1/2" then you need the assembly # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K instead.

Also, just giving out some info, I believe your wheels are 15" wheels. If you measured from the outside to outside then that would explain why you got the 16" measurement. If you check out the attached video on the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel # AM20428 you can see where we measure at the bead seats to find that dimension.
