Question:
Hi, I have a 2012 Rockwood Premier 2516G. Brake assembly recommended for 3500 axle was: etrailer by AxleTek Trailer Brakes - ETBRK235C. However, this says its a four-bolt and I have a five-bolt? Is there another version? Thansk!

Hello Lucas,
We do not have 3,500 pound electric brakes with the 5 bolt flange. I looked up the specs on the 2012 Rockwood Premier 2516G and the information that I am finding is that the brake flange is a 4 bolt, but your wheel bolt pattern is a 5 lug. Can you please respond to the email you receive with a picture of your brake flange?
I attached an image with the brake flange that should be on there, if that is what it looks like then you will need the etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes - Self-Adjusting - 10" - Left/Right Hand Assemblies - 3.5K # AKEBRK-35-SA
If it does have a 5 flange, then did someone swap out the axle for a heavier one? Can you include a picture of your axle tag as well?

That’s awesome, thank you! I screwed up – I didn’t read carefully and assumed lugs, not the flange. I guess a separate issue on the lugs – I didn’t see the specs, but for this trailer I have 5x4.5. Can you confirm that’s a match?
