Hi Yellowjacket,
Good to hear from you again.
A few things about the axle you listed,
The link is for an axle tube only. You would need to buy the brake plates and the drums separately. You may be able to buy a complete brake axle cheaper.
There is one concern, they are expecting the user to weld the axle seats on themselves. There is a needed alignment of the axle position to make sure the axle seats are clocked (rotated) in the correct position to the very top of the axle tube and in the same plane as the opposing axle seat. Will you be doing this setup and welding? If this is not done correct, the wheel alignment will not be correct, the wheel toe will be off and the camber could be out of phase if they do not get the top of the axle correct.
I'm not saying that it cannot be done by someone who has been through this before, but it needs to be understood and then done.
Here is an option to consider. Call these folks, Axle Inc.
Axle Inc. - trailer axles, axles and service, brakes and drums
tell them you want a quote on a complete brake axle with brakes and drums and the axle seats welded on.
You will have to tell them the hub face distance (distance from machined drum face where the wheel seats against from drum to drum). And the axle seat distance. Both from the old axle. They will have the axle built up from Dexter and ship it to you. They need firm numbers on the distance as that is exactly what they will build it too.
You can also get new U bolts from them as part of the deal.
That way, you know the axle is assembled correct. Then you just have to install it, and make sure the axle is installed correct which way is top and which way is front and back of the axle. The arch in the center of the axle tube is up, and the wire hole in the axle tube points to the back of the camper to create front and back correct. The wheel toe and camber will then come out correct.
We can help also on how to check and tweak the thrust angle of the front axle to the tow ball, and how to make the rear axle parallel to the front if you have tandem axles. Getting this right will help make your tire wear to be very good and even on all 4 tires. There are 3 of us who have posted on doing this, See these 3 posts for help.

We may have others too that have done this, just I do not recall them posting pic of the process, but they can help.
Hope this helps
