Your Grand Design Reflection with 5,100 lb axles uses the same 12 inch brakes that are for 5,200 lb axles, so what you need are the following:

- Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting # AKEBRK-7-SA

For installation you'll just need the Mounting Bolts and Hardware for 12" Brake Assemblies # BRKH12.

Hello Richard, thanks for reaching out. Your 2015 Grand Design 337 RLS uses two 7,000 lb axles. This means the brake assemblies will be the standard 12" x 2" size with a 5 bolt brake flange. To replace yours I recommend the etrailer…
