Thinking about making the switch to disc brakes, always a great idea!

We definitely have the parts to make the switch. Unfortunately, I don’t have a database showing what components are installed on each camper (I wish one existed, it would make my job a whole lot easier!).

With that said, based on my research, it looks like you should have (2) 5,200 lb axles (you’ll want to double-check your axle tag). Here’s a list of what you’ll need:

- (4) Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 5,200-lb Axles - 6 on 5-1/2 # 008-213-9B
(You’ll want to double-check your bearing numbers: inner 25580 1.750" inner diameter, and outer LM67048 1.25" inner diameter. These are for a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern.)

- (2) Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 12" Rotor - 6 on 5-1/2 - Dacromet and KodaGuard - 5,200 to 6,000 lbs # K2R526DKG

- (1) Hydrastar Hydraulic Brake Line Kit - Tandem Axle - 25' Long, 3/16" Main Line # HS496-252

- (1) Hydrastar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes - 1,600 psi # HBA16

When you check your bearing numbers and axle capacity, if it’s different from what I found in my research, please let me know. I also attached a picture showing where to measure the spindle for the right bearings if you prefer to do it that way rather than dig those greasy things out. You also want to make sure that you have a brake controller with the electric over hydraulic setting.

I promise if you make the switch, you won’t be disappointed! So what are you thinking, you going to make the switch?

Hi kate thank you for all the information. My axle tags say 5145 lbs on them. I not sure if my wife will let me spend that much money right now on changing the brakes as much as I would love too but we are not full time and we only use it about 8-10 times a year. I watch a lot of full time rvers on YouTube that are sponsored by etrailer and I saw wildrvlife get there disc brakes from etrailer so I was just wondering. I have purchased stuff on etrailer and I would just like to say that you guys are amazing to work with. Thank you for all the information if I can talk my wife into it I definitely will go through etrailer. Thank you Charles “Butch” Hyer

@Butch I never get tired of hearing great things about etrailer. I enjoy working here because they really want us to take care of our Neighbors (customers), and I feel like that is pretty rare in a company now a days. As for getting your wife on board, just try to get that honey doo list done, and then maybe ask for forgiveness instead of permission? Only kidding! It is a pretty expensive swap. If you ever have any questions in the future, you know where to find me Butch! Safe travels =)

@KateF Thank you for helping me with my interest in disc brakes. I think I’ll have to wait a little while for the disc brakes. I just bought from etrailer last year the lippert center point air ride . And like I was saying your customer service was so helpful to me when I had a question when I was installing it. Thanks again
