Electric drum to disc
Well the swap from electric drum to disc brake conversion on our 5er (wow I'm getting the lingo) is now complete. Brakes finally bled on our 33'-0 Cruiser. Will test drive and make adjustments in the ...

Having to bleed a hydraulic system more than once sounds odd to me as well.
As far as brake controller compatibility goes, I believe I read somewhere that you could wire a brake magnet in parallel with the pump so the system would emulate (electrically) a drum brake system to satisfy the controller. Might want to check into this deeper.
That is exactly what I had to do to get my hydraulic disk system working with my 08 F350.
FWIW, use 2 brake magnets wired in series, wired parallel to the pump, for greater "gain". I have to run my controller on 8.5 with a single brake magnet to get the right amount of trailer braking power. It works fine, but if the disk brakes ever get weak, I might run out of adjustment.
