Why Does My 2018 NuCamp TaG XL Outback Have 7" Brakes With 15"Wheels?

Question

Question:

I need to order new brake assemblies. We have a 2018 TAG XL Outback edition with 15inch off road tires. Nucamp has told us and the manual shows that Dexter brakes were installed and this is the replacement but Im confused by tire size. Could they have installed a 7inch brake assembly on the camper but put a bigger tire on? Do you think the brake assembly was based on trailer weight and not tire size?

Since the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 7" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 2,000 lbs # 23-47-48 is what NuCamp installed on your trailer, it is what you want to use for a replacement on your 2018 NuCamp TaG XL Outback.

The size of the brakes used is 100% dependent on the size of your axle, and is dependent on the tire size.

However the drums themselves will be rated for up to a specific tire size, as the contact area of the drum to the wheel will only support a wheel so large. Since NuCamp installed it, I would assume they made sure it was compatible but I recommend asking them for the part number they used and I would be happy to double check.

I included a video of the # 23-47-48 for you to take a look at.

That's a really good question! The one tough thing about trailers and campers is that there isn't a system we can look up and know what's on your trailer. I'm not familiar with Japan's regulations when it comes to trailer and…

Your Kendon fold-up trailer has a 2K axle, given the 1.063 diameter spindle you referenced. Assuming you have idler hubs, you'd need #8-91-05UC1-EZ for a 4 on 4 bolt pattern or #AKIHUB-545-2-LF-2K for a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. The L44649…

Hey Dan, thanks for reaching out. We do have the 7" electric brakes and drums. Electric brakes are typically less expensive and easier to service than disc brakes. Both could work but for a pop-up camper electric drum brakes would do fine and be…

Hi Chris; I'm sorry to say I don't think you will be able to add the 17" wheels and tires to your 2000 Kendon Motorcycle Trailer. It looks like that comes with 13" wheels and tires from the factory. The larger tires aren't going…

To add brakes to a trailer you'll need check the axle to see if a brake flange was welded to it. If not then you'll need to replace the axle in order to add brakes. Once we have a mounting point for the brake assembly we'll need to know…
