Question:

I am looking to replace my 10inch brake assembly and hubs on my 2014 jayfeather ultra lite x17z camper. My tires are ST185/80R13D. Would this brake assembly work for my camper and what drum/hub do you recommend. Are there any other parts I should consider replacing at the same time? Thanks.

They sure will Craig! Your 2014 Jayco Jayfeather Ultralite x17z camper has a 3,500 lbs axle. Our etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes item # AKEBRK-35-SA will fit perfectly!

For a replacement hub, I recommend the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly item # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K. This hub is sold individually and is designed to replace a hub on a 3,500 lbs axle. It has a 5 on 4-1/2" lug nut pattern and comes with the bearings and seals pregreased and preinstalled. You can take the hub out of the box and put it directly on your axle. This hub is designed and includes a grease cap to make routine maintenance quick and easy for your EZ lube axles.

Our etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes item # AKEBRK-35-SA are self-adjusting and include left and right side brake assemblies. They will work with 13" wheels and attach directly to your axle's 4-bolt brake flanges.

Since your trailer's over 10-years old, I recommend replacing the lock washers and nuts that hold the assemblies to the axle flanges with the Mounting Hardware for 10" Brake Assemblies item # BRKH10B. This set will do both brake assemblies. These should be torqued to 45-50ft-lbs.

How often do you use your camper and what kind of trips do you take?

We travel 100 to 200 miles a trip about 6 times a year. Next year we plan on traveling out west, a couple thousand miles.

Yes the electric brakes will work fine. I would get the drums along with the brakes to he sure you don’t have an issue due to the fact that there are a different drums out there. Also the EZ grease hubs. And you will be all set. C P .
