Expert Reply:
The 2009 Forest River Flagstaff MAC 208 did not come from the factory with electric brakes as standard equipment. In order to add some you'd likely need the Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-2 and Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # AKHD-545-2-1K for L44643 (1") bearings or part # AKHD-545-2-2K for L44649 ("1.063) bearings. If you don't know which bearings you have you'll need to pop off the hub and measure. In order to complete the swap you'll also need the Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit part # HS381-9000.
