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.
