If your old drums are dragging or fading, this DeeMaxx 13" disc brake assembly with an integral hub-rotor makes a real difference. It’s built for 7,000-lb axles and uses ceramic brake pads with a stainless steel piston for fast, responsive braking. The one-piece hub-and-rotor design keeps everything true and balanced for smooth, controlled stops.
Saltwater and road treatments can eat through standard coatings fast. The Maxx coating on the hub-rotor, caliper, and bracket provides over 1,000 hours of salt spray protection. Drainage holes in the hat section let water escape easily, reducing the chance of corrosion inside the rotor. This same high-grade finish is trusted in tough environments by agencies like the U.S. Coast Guard.
Heavy braking and long grades can build up heat that weakens stopping power. This assembly uses vented rotors and added airflow near the hub to dissipate heat faster, preventing brake fade and extending pad life. Even under heavy loads, braking stays consistent and controlled.
This setup is designed to save time during installation and upkeep. Each caliper includes laser-etched instructions that show how to mount and bleed the brakes correctly—no guesswork needed. With fewer small parts than drum systems and a strong side-support bracket design that reduces bolt wear, these brakes require minimal maintenance over time.
Each kit includes one hub-rotor assembly with bearings, races, grease seal, grease cap, wheel bolts, and lug nuts. It’s rated for 7,000-lb axles with an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern and 1/2" wheel bolts. High-quality automotive-grade construction and a 7-year warranty round out a setup made for dependable braking season after season.

Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today we're going to take a quick look at this D-Max Brake Assembly. This is going to allow you to replace one brake for your trailers 7000 pound capacity axle. Our rotor here is 13 inches in diameter, and you can see we have the 8 on 6 and a half inch bolt pattern with the half inch wheel stud diameter on this. So those dimensions are typical for assemblies that work on your 16 inch and larger wheels. These do have the integrated hub and rotor assembly as well as the brake caliper and our caliper mounting brackets here on the back side.
You can see, these are going to have your 5 bolt brake flange configuration, so that you can get it mounted onto your axle pretty easily. We do also have the races pre-installed on the front, the inside, and the outside. We're also going to get the bearings and the seal as well as the cap. If you're needing any of the details on those races, bearings, or seal and cap, those are available, as you can see on the screen there. So, to make sure that this is going to work for you, this is also going to include the lug nuts for your half inch studs there, so you can hold your wheel assembly in place, as well as hardware to get this mounted onto your axle.
This does have a matte coat finish on the hub and rotor as well as the caliper and caliper mounting brackets, and that's going to offer excellent rust and corrosion resistance. It's got a salt spray rating of over 1000 hours, so it is going to be comparable to your tactical matte finish. These are going to be great for your boat trailers or trailers used in coastal areas or on heavily treated roads where there's going to be a lot of contact with salt and other corrosive materials. And you can see these, this does have these drain holes here on the side that's going to allow water to drain more easily. So it's going to be especially great for your boat trailers and that sort of thing.
So, obviously, these brakes are going to be a great option for you, especially with the single option. Definitely going to be a great replacement for a brake assembly on your 7000 pound capacity axle. So if you are looking just to replace a single one, this is going to be a great way to go. Of course, it is always better to replace them in pairs so that both sides are going to be braking equally. And we do have kits available that give you two brake assemblies, so one for each side.
So if you are looking to replace both, I would recommend going with that route. That completes our look for today. Thank you, and I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching.

Just traveled 800 miles after installing the disc brakes. Stopping distance is half of what it was. So pleased!
Excellent customer service. All of my questions were answered. All of parts arrived the very next day. Parts appear to be of high quality.
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!
Easy installation, work so much better than stock drums. Some brake pad noise under lite braking.
Angie Z was so helpful and a pleasure to work with.
Will definitely use them again.
Great Service!! Fast delivery.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.....
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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.
