"I think his answer was a little outdated, but it has settled the discussion in our house. He said that sooner or later every brake controller will break down and you can't find anyone to work on aftermarket conversions."
Oldtrojan66,
And this guy is a reputable manager of a trailer business????
Anyone can work on a disc brake system, yeeesh. Dumbest response I have heard in a long time about why not to get a disc brake upgrade.
And so what if your brake controller goes bad, buy a new one for $150.
And if the pump goes bad replace that too. Lose a hydraulic brake line, any NAPA store can make one up.
My disc brake set up is by far the best thing I have done for my 5th wheel and there is NOTHING I can't replace or fix on it.
