DeeMaxx Trailer Brakes - DE53YR

Highlights

  • Stops Smooth and Fast: Disc design gives dramatically shorter stopping distances and more control than drums.
  • Fights Corrosion Long-Term: Maxx coating on rotors, calipers, and brackets lasts over 1,000 salt-spray hours.
  • Handles Heavy Loads: Rated for 7,000-lb axles with 13-1/8" rotors and 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern.
  • Saves Time on Install: 1-piece hub-and-rotor assemblies come preloaded with bearings, races, and seals.
  • Runs Cooler and Lasts Longer: Vented rotors and drainage holes shed heat and moisture to prevent fade.
  • Simplifies Maintenance: Laser-etched caliper instructions make bleeding brakes quick and foolproof.

Features to know about

Stop Shorter and Smoother: Upgrade to a 13" Disc Hub-and-Rotor Assembly

Old drum brakes can drag and lose power when you need them most. This DeeMaxx 13" disc brake kit replaces your hubs with a 1-piece hub-and-rotor assembly that delivers strong, even stopping. The ceramic pads and stainless steel piston provide fast, responsive braking you can feel right away. Each rotor is vented to shed heat quickly, keeping braking consistent under load. Rated for 7,000-lb axles with an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern and 1/2" wheel bolts, the setup is built for reliability and control.

Built for Harsh Conditions: Maxx Coating Protects Against Rust and Corrosion

If you tow in rain, brackish water, or winter salt, corrosion can ruin unprotected brakes fast. The Maxx coating on these hub-rotors, calipers, and brackets lasts more than 1,000 hours in salt spray testing—far outperforming zinc or Dacromet finishes. Drainage holes in the hat section let water escape to minimize corrosion inside the rotor. The result is long-lasting protection that keeps your brakes looking clean and working smoothly in tough environments.

Cooler Running Brakes: Vented Rotors Prevent Fade and Pad Wear

When brakes overheat, they lose performance and wear faster. DeeMaxx’s vented rotor design moves air efficiently through the core to pull heat away from the pads. The added drainage holes improve airflow even more, so these brakes stay cooler and more consistent on long grades or during repeated stops. This engineering also helps the pads last longer and keeps pedal feel steady.

Simple Maintenance and Setup: Easy-Bleed Calipers with Laser-Etched Instructions

Servicing disc brakes shouldn’t mean digging for a manual. Each caliper has clear, laser-etched bleeding instructions right on the body so you can keep things maintained without guesswork. With fewer moving parts than drum brakes—no springs or magnets to deal with—the design saves time over the life of the trailer.

Ready-to-Install Kit: Complete Assemblies for One 7K Axle

Everything needed for one axle comes in the box—two Maxx coat hub-rotor assemblies with inner (25580) and outer (14125A) bearings, races, grease seals, grease caps, 1/2" wheel bolts, and zinc lug nuts. It’s all prepped for straightforward installation using a hydraulic actuator rated at 1,500 psi or above (sold separately). Backed by a 7-year warranty, this kit is built for dependable performance season after season.

Best upgrade to our 5th wheel. I will do this to every trailer I ever own. The install was straight forward if you have some mechanical knowledge and experience.



by:

Just traveled 800 miles after installing the disc brakes. Stopping distance is half of what it was. So pleased!



by:

We had a rough start getting the right brakes for our Brinkley Z3100. However after ETrailer realized they made an error on the order they were right on top of it, doing everything they could do to make it right. Their people are great, kind, well informed in their products, and communicate very promptly. E Trailer will be my go to supplier for RV, and Trailer needs.
You will not be disapointed with their customer care!



by:

Easy installation, work so much better than stock drums. Some brake pad noise under lite braking.



by:

Angie Z was so helpful and a pleasure to work with.
Will definitely use them again.



by:

Great Service!! Fast delivery.



by:

The first order I made was incorrect due to my mistake, but Amy took care of it had the correct items sent out with the wrong items returned. Everything was very smooth.



by:

Really surprised how quickly parts came. One box looked pretty rough, but all parts appear to be there. Will know more after install and put a few miles on the trailer.



by:

The boxes arrived fully sealed, but there was significant rust on the races of two of the four hubs. I sanded the races to remove it and hopefully it won’t have long term impact. Otherwise, quality looks good and can’t wait to get them installed.



by:

One of the kits was missing all 5 mount bolts, had to run to Hardware store to get replacements. Bolt up is simple & strait forward. Packaging needs to be more substantial as the calpers were floating around in the box & had some scuffing damage.. maybe put some composite straps around boxing so they can be easier to Carry?



by:

Not sure if parts are correct. Brake calipers don't mount t at 3 or 9. Called etrailer they were no help. They told me to call the manufacturer.....



by:

These seem to be great brakes and well-made and my camper stops much better now. I had originally only given the product a one-star rating because of a customer service issue and a bracket problem. But I am changing it to a five-star review because the company president called me directly and worked out the problem. Not only do they have a great product but they are willing to make things right. Great company and great product, well worth the money. The best upgrade I have done to my fifth wheel so far. If you buy the kit for the 6000lb axle, and they send you the open bracket which cannot be installed as the instruction say at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions, call the company and they will send you the correct closed brackets.



by:

Etrailer to the rescue! Extremely high quality direct replacement for DeeMaxx EOH kit DE66AR offered on this site. Our original got damaged after a bearing failure. I actually cary a spare set of bearings which allowed us at a minimum to limp our RV home and avoid an expensive tow. Now I will replace the damaged parts.



by:

I have towed my 16,000lb fifth wheel over 12,000mi since installing the disc brake system. The braking power and control is vastly improved with the disc brakes over the drum brakes. I am certain that I avoided a major accident because of the disc brake system. The kit had everything I needed and the customer service was great.



by:

Have a 2024 Brinkley camper. Barley felt the drum brakes work. Camping in Colorado and the Black Hills was a little stressful with little brake help from the camper. Winter here. I've only took the camper on a test drive (20 miles) with the new disc brakes. They work awesome! All the brake power you need from the camper now.

I ordered the wrong brake kit at first. I needed 9/16" bolts instead of 1/2". Ashley from E-tailer got what I needed coming and gave ups the pickup label right after I called. Thank you Ashley!

As for the brake install. Fairly easy. Not fun, but easy. The hardest part was running and securing the brake lines. And maybe the wiring up the actuator. Instructions were great. Just a little intimidating the first time. Next time will take half the time to do. But I no plains for the next time! Also make sure your brake controller can change to elec. over hdy. Luckily my 2023 F350 did and was easy to change on the screen.

Thank you again Ashley!!

  • Parts Needed to Convert to 7,000 lb Disc Trailer Brakes From Electric Brakes on Boat Trailer
    Hi Rick; thanks for the question and the info you provided, and the answer is yes, you can absolutely convert from electric brakes to disc brakes. Disc brakes give you the best overall stopping power, so it's something I definitely recommend. For a 7,000 lb axle and a 5-bolt mounting flange I highly recommend DeeMax brakes: - DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit # DE53YR You'll need two of the # DE53YR for your tandem axle trailer, and the reason I like DeeMax is not only their superior rust resistance...

  • Disc Brake Kit for a 2015 Keystone Fuzion 5W Toy Hauler
    Hey, Robert! Happy to help you out. It looks like the kit you're looking at is the Deemaxx kit part # DE46AR, this would be a great kit if you want to use your existing hubs and also need to replace your actuator. There are a few other kits that would also work depending on all that you were looking at getting. DeeMaxx part # DE66AR if a great kit if you need that actuator and also want a combined hub/rotor. If you don't need the actuator you can get kit part # DE53YR. This is a per axle...

  • Disc Brake Kit Recommendation for a 2021 Voltage 4195 Triple Axle Toy Hauler
    Thanks for reaching out, John! According to my research you should have 7K axles on your trailer so I recommend picking up the DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit which come with 9/16" Bolts # DE68YR. If you don't already have brake lines then you'll want to pick up the DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit w/ Actuator for Triple Axle Trailers # DE26AR which comes with the disc brakes, brake lines, and an electric-over-hydraulic actuator so you can still use your electric brake controller to activate the brakes.

  • Disc Brake Conversion Kit for 2019 Keystone Montana 5th Wheel
    I can get the parts from that video but what I don't know 100% is the bolt size on that brake kit. Based on our own installation video I believe it is the 1/2". It is also worth noting that the brakes are designed for 7k axles with # 25580 inner and # 14125A or # 02475 outer bearings. For the brake kit it is one of the following: -DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit - 13" Hub/Rotor - 8 on 6-1/2 - Maxx Coating - 1/2" Bolts - 7K # DE53YR -DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit - 13" Hub/Rotor - 8 on 6-1/2 - Maxx Coating...

  • Coupler to Replace an Older Tie Down Engineering Model 70LC
    Hey, Jeff. More than happy to help you out. I checked into the older Tie Down model 70CL and it looks like it was rated for 7,000 lb disc brake setups. The Demco DA75 actuator part # DM33CV would be a great replacement. Their EZ latch makes coupling and uncoupling a breeze, and it comes with an electric lockout so the brakes won't lock up when you're backing up. For brakes, that may get a little harder to do. I know we will have something that works but if you are looking at keeping the...

  • Lowest Height 7,000LB Trailer Axle Along With Electric and Disc Brake Components
    We have a 94" # e35GR, 95" # e95GR or the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension # TASR7KS02 which are all 7,000lb axles with a 4" drop. These are going to be the lowest possible height 7,000lb axles we carry. As they come with a bare spindle you will need a brake kit like the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust # 23-464-465, and 2 Hub/Drums # 42866UC3-EZ. We also have a Disc Brake Kit # DE53YR if you are wanting to go with the superior braking from hydraulic brakes.
