What size of brake shoes fit a 2017 swift magor caravan

[@TowingAndTrailersLtd]

Hi
We are rarely work on Caravans Nor do we get Manufacturers information.
From experience in 2017 all caravans were having chassis from Al-ko so the manufacturer is easy.
I have a Swift caravan and there are many variations with different gross weights and axle configurations
If your caravan has a gross weight under 1600kg and is single axle then I would expect it to be using 200 x 51 Al-ko brakes. if it is single axle and gross weight is between 1600 and 1800kg it would use 230 x 61 brakes. and if it is twin axle I would expect it to use 200 x 51 brakes. there is a small chance it may have 160 x 37 brakes.
The brake parts can be found at.
160 x 37
