Hey Richard, due to the age of your travel trailer I am not able to verify what the axle capacity is of it so I can't say for sure what brake assemblies you'd need but if the axles are 2,000 to 2,200 lb rated then yes the part # 23-47-48 are correct for them. You can also verify this by measuring the diameter of the drums. If they are 7 inch in diameter than this is what you need.
If you have something else or have other questions just let me know.

Hey Richard, did you get a chance to check the axle rating or measure the drum diameter on your Casita Spirit 16? Knowing what you found could help others trying to match brakes on older trailers. Your update could make it easier for the next person with the same setup.
