Hey Anthony, for a disc brake kit from DeeMax that is a fit for your Dexter 5,200 lb axles you'd want the part # DE28YR which comes with the hub/rotors and calipers as well as all needed bearings and seals. You'd need a quantity of two of these since you have a tandem setup.
Then for a kit that comes with everything else you'd need to convert to disc brakes you'd want the part # HBA16-252-82 and you'd be set with the nicest disc brake conversion you can get for your camper. Does your work trailer have electric over hydraulic disc?
