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

SOLUTION:

Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3,500-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2  

These brakes look EVEN better:

Wheel Bearings – MasterPro Trailer Bearing Kit – Part # BT7 (one kit per wheel is required)

Trailer Bearing Kit; Consists of:
1 - A17 Bearing Set (L68149/L68111)
1 - A4 Bearing Set (L44649/L44610)
1 - 442251 Seal
1 - Cotter pin
Brakes -

This bearing kit looks will be also work (order two kits, one per wheel)

    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.

    Grand!  Glad you got it sorted.  I thought it may have been a Dexter axle.
