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 next few days and post results.
Congrats! I can't imagine you won't love 'em!
Just a few points FYI from my experience. I converted our brakes on the 2011 Cameo to Kodiak disc. I used a 3/8 inch line from the pump back to the brakes and had the Titan pump.
The Lifestyle was ordered from the factory with the Dexter disc brakes and pump and the factory only installed the typical 1/4 inch line.
I had less lag time with the 1st set up. When I say less lag time I mean negligible.
With the Dexter set-up, the lag time is noticeable but not a problem.
Eventually I will change the pump out to the Titan and increase the line size.
The Kodiak are easy to bleed while the Dexter require the wheel to be removed to be bled. PIA! Either way, both systems should be bled a few times for optimum performance.
I will take either of these systems over the drum brakes ANYDAY! Stopping is consistent, strong, predictable and never feel like I can't stop. That is not a feeling I want with 15k behind me.
Again, congrats. Safe travels and enjoy the drive. Phillip
