Dexter Electric Trailer Brakes Review Video

Hello Ted. The Dexter Electric Trailer Brakes #23-47-48 use 14 gauge wire. We recommend using 10 gauge wire like part #10-1-1 which we sell by the foot. For a butt connector I recommend using part #05732-2. These are made for 10 or 12 gauge wire but…

To determine the size of the brake assemblies you need you have to measure the depth and width of the hub drum on the axle like what you see in the picture I attached. The most common size is 2-1/4 inch wide like the #T4071600-500 that you…

I can't speak to the compatibility of weight with your trailer other than to say your logic makes sense. The frame size, the coupler, the leaf springs, and the axle itself all influence the weight capacity of the trailer with the weakest…

Coleman/Fleetwood uses Dexter axles so I can help you pick out the parts you need for your 2,200 lb Dexter axle. The bearings you would need are #L44649 for the inner and outer and then for a seal #10-9. For brake assemblies you would need part…

You did not say whether you have electric or hydraulic brakes on your 2000 Coleman Utah camper. You will need to know a few details when choosing replacement brake assemblies. There should be a plate or sticker on the axle with the weight rating. You…

The 8 inch diameter wheel on your Coleman Fleetwood pop-up camper is not large enough to accept an electric brake hub and drum assembly. Seven inch brake assemblies like #23-48 that you selected work with the Trailer Hub & Drum Assembly, item…

The #AM3S331 ST185/80D-13 wheel/tire combo you specified should work well for you. The brake assemblies you need will depend on the diameter of your brake drum, which is most likely a 7x1-1/4 inch (7 inches inside diameter, 1-1/4 inside depth). If…
