Brake Size

I'm new to the forums and could really use some help.
I recently purchased a 2004 Salem 32BHSS 5th wheel camper. I towed it initially with my brother-n-laws F250 with a known good brake controller and the brake controller showed OL and a short while towing. The Trailer brakes didn't work. I then towed it to camp with my F250 and the brakes didn't work. I metered the plug pins and know that i'm getting voltage to the axles but I didn't have the tools at camp to troubleshoot any further.
I want to change the entire brake hubs on both axles but not sure what size need.
Does anyone know if the 32BHSS 5th wheel has 12 x 2 or 10 x 2-1/4 brakes. I think it would be time and cost effective if I just showed up at camp with what I need and the tools to replace them.
Any additional ideas would be helpful

Jack it up and look. Most brake drums have size molded into them. BTW, brake size is based on axle capacity also.

Does it have 5 or 6 lugs?
If it's 6 lugs, they're 12x2.

I wish I could but the camper is 200 miles away. I was hoping to get the brakes in hand before I went back to the camp.
