Hello Alan. We do have a disc brake conversion kit available that will work on your 2005 Keystone Montana. I recommend the Hydrastar Disc Brake Kit w/ Actuator for Tandem Axle Trailers # HSE7K-T1. This is a full conversion kit so you get your hubs, rotors, calipers, brake pads, brake lines, fittings and electric over hydraulic actuator. Everything you will need to convert your drum brake axles over to EOH disc brakes. The hubs are for 7K axles and they have the 8 on 6-1/2" lug pattern. The grease caps, part # rg04-120 are sold separately.
Just note this kit comes with a 15' main brake line, so please verify this will be long enough for your camper. Also, this will require an EOH compatible electric brake controller in your tow vehicle. Most aftermarket controllers like the Tekonsha P3 # 90195 are EOH compatible. Some OEM controller are not compatible so just make sure your brake controller will work with EOH brakes.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hey Alan, how did the Hydrastar disc brake kit work out on your Keystone Montana? Did the 15' main brake line end up being long enough for your setup? Your update could make it easier for others planning the same upgrade.
