Hi Folks !
We have a 2009 T@DA (Dutchmen) and would like to purchase replacement Bearings and Drum Shoes (or the whole brake assembly)
Has anyone replaced these parts with off the shelf parts?
If so could you please share the part numbers with us?
Thank you

I do not believe the T@D@ has the same frame and axle as the DM TaBs, as it is a much larger, 18-foot trailer, with a longer frame than the TaB400, and has electric brakes.

Thanks...I will delete the comment I made above. So: what setup do they have?

AFAIK the T@da is using electric brakes, correct ? If so the brake parts and bearings are going to be off the shelf parts for a 3500 lbs axle. To be sure measure the diameter and width of the drums but it should be 10 x 2-1/4.

Yes I believe it does. Vogel RV in Ukahia California I believe has serviced the T@D@, and may know what the replacement parts are.Cheers2018 TaB400 Custom Boondock, Jeep Gladiator truck, Northern California Coast.

Hi Folks,
Thanks for chiming in. I posted the results of my research above for the next person who's searching in the forum."I know one thing, I know nothing." -
Grand! Glad you got it sorted. I thought it may have been a Dexter axle.
