Dexter axle Brakes
I have a trailer with dexter axles with 12X2 brakes. (I believe they are 6,200 pound axles???, they are on 10,000 pound registered trailer with upgraded axles) I just spent 1700 dollars at camping ...

I have the trailer and all the parts, and the wire with connectors that were removed. The drums were gauged in front of sales manager and service dispatcher by their own chassis mechanic max opening 12.06, measured 11.560(not the one that worked on the trailer) Mechanic stated "nothing wrong with these drums, they could have been reused.
It's good that you have everything. I guess the ball is in their court now. Don't forget to stay calm and document everything going forward (time, name, what was said etc.) Maybe you can get them to work with you via email - that would make documenting things easier...
Does everything visually look good - no grooves in drums, decent amt of friction material on shoes, no excessive rust (to prevent motion), no contamination of pads (from grease for example), no pitting or wear marks on bearings/races?
Basically, can you see any reason for them to have inspected the brakes and legitimately recommended replacement of any parts whatsoever (other than the wires)?
