RV MURTS Electric Brake Assembly 10 in x 2.25 in - Reliable Trailer

In this review of the RV MURTS Electric Brake Assembly the bottom line is straightforward: this kit is for trailer owners who need a direct, affordable replacement for worn electric brakes and want noticeably improved stopping performance. The reviewer found the brakes deliver a firmer, more consistent stop and are easy to fit to a 3500 lb axle with 5-bolt on 4.5 drum hubs. If you want a practical repair that restores braking feel and reduces magnet and line wear without replacing the entire hub or actuator, this is worth considering.

Key Features

• Braking Performance: Designed to improve braking distance by up to 50 percent, giving more confident stops when towing.
• Standard Fit: Measures 10 in x 2.25 in and fits 4-bolt mounting for many 3500 lb trailer axles, simplifying direct replacement.
• Durable Construction: Built from prominent steel for toughness and resistance to wear, intended for long duty cycles.
• Complete Pair: The package includes two electric brakes plus washers and nuts, so you have the parts needed to replace both sides at once.
• Factory Tested: Produced in an ISO/TS 16949 certified factory and carries CSA and AMECA certifications, indicating controlled quality and fitment standards.

Who It's For

This kit is best for owners of small to mid-size trailers with a 3500 lb axle who need a straightforward swap of electric brake assemblies and want improved braking performance without replacing drums or actuators. DIYers and mobile RV owners who value a package that includes mounting hardware will appreciate the convenience and the reported ease of installation.

Those who should look elsewhere include trailers with nonstandard hubs or axles that require a different mounting pattern, and customers who need hydraulic actuators or a complete drum-and-bearing overhaul; this kit does not include hydraulic lines, actuators, or drums.
