FWIW, I had a cargo trailer that had much bigger magnets than the same 12 x 2 Dexter drum magnets that were on my fifth wheels and that cargo trailer stopped like a champ but the 5ers were terrible. The cargo trailer brakes had the biggest magnets that Dexter listed… I think they had white wires.
I wish I would have known the difference in the magnet sizes before I spent $1700 for disc brakes on my current fifth wheel.
