Something that don't make sense to me is that these pads are for a vehicle that weighs 5,000# and they are on an RV that has the possibility to be over 20,000#. If it has 17" wheels on it why not put a pad on it for a HD truck.
Guess what they are the same pad on the 8 and 9K MORryde IS system and possibly the 7K.
I was considering going to the 9K system but after seeing the pad is exactly the same and several other things I declined. The rotors, bearings and caliper are larger but same exact pad.
The fact that there are 4 wheels does make a difference. I for one would like to see a much larger pad with a double piston caliper.
Yes and there are 4 wheels on the vehicle they are designed for too. My boat trailer has pads that fit a Chevy Caviler. 3000+ pound car verses 5000 pound boat is a little closer than what they are putting on your RVs. Seems like one good hard stop and your pads would be crystallized so hard they wouldn't be very effective after that.
