• Can Trailer without Brakes Have Brakes Installed
  We do have the parts you'll need to add brakes to your trailer that does not have any currently. It will require you to know what spindle dimensions you have currently to be able to pick out the hub drums and then from there pick out the correct brake assemblies. I attached a guide for adding brakes to a trailer for you to check out as well.

• Voltage at Brake Magnets is 8 Volts with Brake Controller Set to Maximum
  It should be getting close to 12 volts if the power output is set to the maximum on the brake controller. Some brake controllers will not work properly if they are titled or turned to the side or if it has a leveler knob that is not level. Check those things first since they are the easiest. First, sever the blue wire behind the the brake controller a few inches and use your meter to test the end coming from the brake controller. With the output set to the maximum it should read at least...

• How to Determine if Trailer Brake Assemblies 23-106-09/23-105-09 Fit Trailer

• 12 x 2 Inch Electric Trailer Brakes with a 4 Bolt Mounting Pattern
  The 4-bolt brake mounting pattern is fairly rare in a 12 x 2 inch assembly. We have some options though; for 6K axles we have # 23-105-09 for the left and # 23-106-09 for the right. The 4-bolt pattern on these assemblies is offset meaning the bottom 2 holes are closer together than the top 2 holes. If that is what you have then either set listed above would work. I have linked videos on each of these types of brakes for you.

• Replacement Trailer Brake Assemblies that Have 4 Bolt Pattern and 12 inch Diameter
  Your dimensions are a little unique but I would assume you have an AL KO brand axle with a 6k axle and the correct assemblies would be the part # 23-105-09 and # 23-106-09. This is 12 inch in diameter assembly that can attach with a 4 or 5 lug bolt pattern. I would recommend checking the axles for a tag that has it's capacity listed or see if there's a part number you can see on old assemblies/hubs to verify this.

• How To Determine if Dexter 12x2 Electric Brake Assembly # 23-106-09 Will Fit 1982 Silver Streak RV
  The same answer would apply. The brake assembly # 23-106-09 is designed to fit a Hayes/AL-KO or Dexter axle with either the 4-bolt or 5-bolt mounting flange. These are 12 x 2 inch brakes. To measure the drum you will measure the inside diameter. It should be 12 inches. Then measure either the width of the old pad or the width of the surface it would contact on the inside of the drum. That should be 2 inches. These brakes are designed for 6,000 pound axles but could also be used on a 5,200...

• Differences Between # 23-458 and #23-106-00 12 by 2 Inch Brake Assemblies
  Other than both brake assemblies being a 12x2 inch for a 6K axle, there are several differences between the two brake assemblies. Brake assemblies are either right or left side of the trailer specific. The # 23-458 is for the left side of a trailer while # 23-106-09 is for the right hand. The # 23-458 is a Nev-R-Adjust assembly that will self adjust each time the trailer is backed. The # 23-106-09 requires the brakes be manually adjusted. The # 23-106-09 is compatible with either the...

• Gauge Wire Recommendation for Brake Output Circuit on Trailer
  Looking at the size of your trailer I am not surprised you are seeing some voltage loss. This is why it's recommended to use at least 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by foot) to run from the trailer connector back to the brake assemblies. This will reduce the voltage loss as well as carry more amperage.

• Brake Assembly Recommendation for 6,000 lb AL KO Trailer Axles
  The Dexter Electric Brake Assembly # 23-106-09 is similar to the # 23-106 except it is designed to fit both 4 bolt AL KO style bolt patterns as well as the standard 5 bolt patterns seen on most other brands. Since you have Al KO axles you'd most likely need the # 23-106-09 for the passenger side and then the part # 23-105-09 for the driver side. You would want to check though. Look behind the trailer wheels at the brake mounting flange. If it's 4 bolts with the upper bolts being spaced...
