Thanks for the information Mark! You didn't miss anything on either website. I checked with Grand Design and your 2024 Reflection 337 RLS came from the factory with the Electric Trailer Brake Assembly for Lippert ABS Hubs item # LC83PX. There are no replacement brake pads/shoes available.

The Electric Trailer Brake Assembly for Lippert ABS Hubs item # LC83PX include a left and right hand self-adjusting brake assemblies that work with Lippert or Curt's ABS hubs.

Please note that if you do decided to replace the entire assemblies, you will want to reuse your existing ABS sensor or purchase a new ones item # LC98FC. The Electric Trailer Brake Assembly item # LC83PX do not come with new sensors.

Did you have any kind of a brake failure or are you just doing routine maintenance when the season ends? Feel free to answer this and throw in any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.

Thanks for the reply. That is crazy there aren’t replacement pad options! Holy disposables world! Is there a disc brake conversion kit since I’m replacing the entire assembly? That would be a worthwhile upgrade. Thanks Mark

@MarkH You're welcome! Yeah the industry is definitely headed that direction with replacement drum brake parts. It's easier to just replace the entire assemblies than repair/rehab them. $80ish dollars for a pair of new shoes and the additional labor required compared to spending $225 on brand new brake assemblies with item # LC83PX. The DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit w/ Actuator for Tandem Axle Trailers item # DE24NR would be the correct disc brake conversion kit for your Grand Design. It comes with everything you need. Just a heads up, you will lose your ABS feature if you make the change to disc brakes.

Is there a way/work around to use the disc brake kit and keep the ABS? If not, I’m wondering what way to go!?!?

@MarkH No, there's not. The speed and braking sensors for the ABS system are monitoring the magnets on the brake assemblies. There's no workaround available that lets you reinstall them to work with rotors. Plus there's some issue with the pulsing signal the ABS module sends out that doesn't work with the EoH brake actuators. Disc brakes have far superior stopping power so doing the disc brake conversion with item # DE24NR will be a solid upgrade even with losing the ABS. Plus it's easy to replace pads, rotors, and calipers.

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
