Question

Question:

Hello, I just purchased a 1998 Coleman Fleetwood Sunridge pop up camper. I need to replace both electronic brakes. I have searched the web looking for a part number but havent found one yet. The ppl at advanced auto or the local RV place are no help either. These look like the same exact brakes that are on there now but i dont know for sure. can you help me? If these are the right ones do you carry both left and right side? Thanks

We can help you with new electric drum brakes for your Coleman pop-up!

You will just want to confirm a few details in order to select suitable replacement brake assemblies.

First, check the axle's weight rating. This should be on a plate or sticker on the axle itself. Note you need to select a matching set of left- and right-hand brakes. You also need to make sure you choose the same size brake as what is now on the trailer, both in diameter and width, and the same mounting bolt pattern. Once you know the weight capacity you can use the link provided to see all electric brake assemblies suitable for that requirement. You can use the filters on the page to narrow the displayed results based on your axle rating.

Let's say your axle is rated for 3500-lbs. This will be a 10 x 2-1/4-inch brake assembly. We offer etrailer.com Self Adjust brakes # AKEBRK-35L-SA (left) and # AKEBRK-35R-SA (right) and standard manual-adjust brakes # AKEBRK-35L and # AKEBRK-35R.

I have linked a video showing brake installation for your reference.

Hey Dan, The info you provided does tell us a bit about the axle but isn't enough to look up what components go with with it. With it being a 3,500lb axle it's probably a generic 3,500lb kit for the bearings and seals but I'd hate to not…
