Question:
I have a 2015 Karavan single axle boat trailer with Trailer Buddy Model DB35 brakes. Do you sell a replacement kit that includes the rotors? The trailer is used in salt water.

Hey Rich, since you have the 3,500 lb axle the disc brake kit you'd need for a salt water application is the DeeMaxx part # DE46YR which is a Maxx Coated/Stainless Steel hub/rotor kit that would work great for you.
Did your old setup end up getting really rusty?

Hey Rich, how did the DeeMaxx brake kit work out on your Karavan trailer? I’m curious if the stainless and Maxx Coated parts held up well in salt water. Your experience could help others who use their trailers in similar conditions.
