what size ARE those brakes?

I need help. I need to order brake magnets for my 2010 MAC BR28TSC. I tried calling Forest River but no one is home, shuffled off to parts, won't answer phone. Local dealers are at the show and the woman who answered was "just answering the phone". Its nowhere in the literature, manuals or descriptions!!
10 inch drums, right? Tandem axle. What width are the shoes on those BRAKES???

Pull a wheel/tire off and measure the width of the brake shoes and drums. Take a picture of the exposed brake assembly then go shopping on eTrailer.com for magnets. Good time to install new NAPA grease seals also.

I'd really like to pull off the wheel/tire, but last year I had both rotator cuffs rebuilt. Its okay, I'm having a local garage take care of it.
