Disc Brakes
More and more people are switching their trailers over to disc brakes, and with good reason. Disc brakes deliver consistent braking - even at highway speeds - unlike drum brakes, which often show a substantial drop in braking torque at higher speeds. In addition, disc brakes offer a substantially shorter stopping distance than drum brakes. Disc brake calipers have only one moving part, rather than the many found in drum brakes. This means that there are fewer parts to maintain, fewer parts to get damaged and fewer parts to have to repair or replace, thus reducing maintenance costs.
Integral Hub-and-Rotor Assemblies
The integral hub-and-rotor is made from cast iron, matching SAE specifications. Cast iron is ideal for high-temperature operations and offers a favorable friction coefficient to ensure adequate stopping power. Furthermore, machined disc brakes minimize the chance of contamination between the hub and rotor, resulting in excellent performance and long life.

Using on 2 out of 3 axles on dump trailer. Two days of use at less then half power setting of brake controller, working great. I added pictures of the install. I do not have pictures of control box mounted. I mounted it inside tool box on trailer.
Comments
3 out of 4 calipers working great. One does not release right and eats up the pads fast and right into the rotor.

I purchased the disc brake system for my 5th wheel to improve the braking. It has proved to be a great unit. We have put over 10K miles on the camper since installing the brakes and I will NEVER have another camper without disc brakes. The system is easy to install. The brake lines took a little planning and I was able to mount the actuator in a convent location and it works great.

These brakes work phenomenal. I would never rely on the original electric drum brakes that came on the trailer. It was a diy project and they sent everything I needed to complete the job. When the drum brakes need replacement I would definately go with this set. It stops so much better now and you can see the pads without having to disassemble the entire wheel.

This brake system has worked out great. Stops are quicker and more solid than the electric brakes. I did have trouble with one of the calipers. No matter what I did it wouldn’t go on. Luckily, the company that makes them is 20 miles from my house. I took the defective caliper to them and they swapped it out and I had it installed all within an hour and half. They told me they had a bad batch and I had received one. I know I could have had etrailer replace it, but my trailer was up on jacks and didn’t want to wait for the replacement. It all worked out fine. Thanks

One of the best upgrades we made to our 5th wheel camper.

After pne year and approximately 6,000 miles I'm very pleased with the brakes' performance. My tow vehicle and trailer feel as one umit when braking. The stopping distance considerably less. I haven't once had to say to myself "please stop" in a hard braking situation.

Ask the Experts about this Hydrastar Trailer Brakes
- Oil Bath or Grease for HydraStar Disc Brake Kit with Actuator for Tandem Axle TrailersIn regards to the bearings, trailer bearings nowadays are generally made overseas; there may be some exceptions here and there, but they generally aren't standard trailer bearings. The bearings and seals that come with the HydraStar Disc Brake Kit with Actuator for Tandem Axle Trailers # HSE7K-T1 are of the highest quality and you won't have any issues. As far as changing from grease to oil bath, that is not recommended for trailer hubs. Oil bath hubs can be problematic because they...

Looks like on your 7,000 lb axle you have 25580 Inner bearing and 14125A outer bearings. You would want to get the HydraStar Disc Brake Kit w/ Actuator # HSE7K-T1 for your 2014 Grand Design 369RL.

Most of the time if not every time the stock components are very poor in quality resulting in giving a poor driving experience. For your leaf springs we have one that may work but you will need to make some measurements to make sure they will work with your MORrydem CRE3000 system. The 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # SP-198275 are for 7,000-lb Trailer Axles and are...
view full answer... - Recommended Disc Brake Conversion Kit for Trailer with 7K AxlesThe HydraStar Disc Brake Kit w/ Actuator for Tandem Axle Trailers part # HSE7K-T1 is my recommendation for a disc brake conversion kit that will fit trailers with 7K axles. It's an all inclusive kit meaning it comes with everything you'll need to make the swap. It also has an integrated hub/rotor design which is easier to install and cuts down on the total number of parts.

This kit is going to give you the best possible braking set up for your trailer, with the responsiveness of an electric trailer brake system and the stopping power of hydraulic disc brakes. I also recommend adding the Trailer Hub Grease Cap # 21-43-1 if you have an E-Z Lube type axle. Additionally, if you don't have one you'll need a brake...

view full answer... - Do Hydraulic Trailer Brakes Release Sitting at Traffic LightThe actuator of the HydraStar Disc Brake Kit w/ Actuator for Tandem Axle Trailers # HSE7K-T1 will maintain brake pressure as long as the brake controller is telling the actuator to maintain it, but what most brake controllers have, like the Prodigy P2 part # 90885, have is a function that after a certain amount of time with the brakes applied the controller stops sending voltage as it assumes you are at a stoplight. So while the actuator doesn't provide the function you mentioned the...
view full answer... - HydraStar Disc Brake Kit with Actuator for 16 Inch WheelsThe HydraStar Disc Brake Kit w/ Actuator for Tandem Axle Trailers - 13" Hub/Rotor - 8 on 6-1/2 - 7K # HSE7K-T1 will work well for your 16 inch wheels. The manufacturer doesn't specify wheel size compatibility so that is why it is missing in the cross-reference for fit. The 10 Inch rotors fit 13-15 inch wheels and the 13 inch rotors of this system fit 16 to 17-1/2 inch wheels. They are a great choice for your application.
view full answer... - How do Hydrastar Disk Brake Actuator Kits Compare to Other BrandsThe Hydrastar electric over hydraulic actuators and disk brake components like the # HSE7K-T1 are the best in overall quality and performance. We've found that the Hydrastar systems are the fastest reacting and most reliable actuators so we recommend them very highly. The other brands tend to have more circuit board issues or won't like working with OEM brake controllers as much either. I attached a review video for this kit for more info on it as well.

The kit includes everything you need to switch your trailer over to disc brakes for improved performance and greater stopping power.
view full answer... - Will HydraStar Disc Brake Kit Clear Trailer Frame The HydraStar Disc Brake Kit w/ Actuator for Tandem Axle Trailers # HSE7K-T1 should fit just fine with your 7K Dexter Axles. It does sit back slightly more than what a drum brake would but unless you have a really odd-shaped axle you won't have any problems. As you can see from the linked review video the calipers sit slightly back but there is still enough clearance for them. The flange that these mount on actually have a dip in them that helps to accommodate some of the thickness...

view full answer... - Caliper not Fitting Correctly on a HydraStar Disc Brake on a 2018 Jayco PinnacleI called HydraStar on your behalf and they said the most likely problem with the caliper of the HydraStar Disc Brake, part # HSE7K-T1, not lining up correctly is because the piston needs to be reset into the caliper. I also spoke with one of our installation experts, and he believes this may be the problem as well. To reset the caliper, place a brake pad in the piston side and use a c-clamp like part # PTW5100 to seat it to push it in all of the way. If this doesn't solve your...

Instead I recommend the Dexter Disc Brake Kit - 12-1/4" Hub/Rotor - Oil - 8 on 6-1/2 - E-Coat - 7,000 lbs # K71-694-695-13 which is already set up for oil bath, but you will need one kit per axle on your trailer.

But even then the worst case scenario is you'd just need to swap seals with part # GS-2125DL and you'd be set.

- Can I Upgrade from 6,000 lbs Axles to 8,000 lbs Axles on 5th Wheel Toy Hauler?As someone who has knowingly overloaded a trailer out of necessity, I completely understand your thought process here, but I think I have a better option for you that will save you both time and money in upgrading to electric-over-hydraulic discs brakes on your existing 6K axles. I wouldn't install 8K axles for two reasons, suspension stiffness and drum size. The suspension on an 8K axle will be significantly stiffer than a 6K axle and this will create more jarring and a rougher ride...
