Hey Sonny, the correct disc brake kit for your 5th wheel camper that has two Lippert 7k axles would be the Hydrastar kit part # HSE7K-T1SO. This comes with everything from the rotors and calipers to the nicest electric over hydraulic actuator around so it will work really well for you. It also comes with the brake lines needed as well. Are you planning any other upgrades soon?

Thanks Jameson! Should I pull tires off to confirm that there is an idler hub? I thought that the bearing assembly was built into the drum on the Lippert 7K axles?
