Question:
Good Morning, Looking to replace an Atwood actuator with the DA70. At some point in the future. I will also upgrade from drum to disc brakes. Will I be able to use the DA70 just by installing a lockout solenoid? Thank you, Shawn

Hey Shawn! The Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator # DM72VR (DA70) can be converted in the future when you switch to disc brakes. As you said, you will need the Reverse Lockout Solenoid Kit # DM5836. You will also need to swap out the master cylinder with the Replacement Master Cylinder for Demco Actuators - Disc Brakes # 5672. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to reach out in the comments below.
