Self adjusting drum brakes are ok on my 7,000 lb utility trailer but for my 16,000 lb 5th wheel I decided to dump the 1960's tech and go with disc brakes. Night and day difference no matter what anyone says. They do cost more but if you can afford a new camper I bet you can afford a disc brake conversion. I will not go cheap on my families safety.
