Hey Robert, yes the Hydrastar Vented Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes # HS481-8067 that you referenced would be correct kit to use to convert your trailer over to electric over hydraulic. Does your boat trailer have disc brakes already? We really like the Hydrastar actuators as they are very reliable and are great performing.

Yes the trailer has hydraulic disc brakes. I will have to install a brake controller in the motorhome as it does not have one.
