Voided warranty

The axles and brakes are warranted by their own manufacturer so the trailer assembly company doesn't enter the picture.

If you have an axle fail; see how quick you get turned over to Dexter or Lippert for warranty service.

Once you try disks, you will never consider drums again.

I agree entirely. I could not believe the difference in braking with discs. Our current 16k 36' fiver tops WAY better than our previous 12k 30' fiver with 12" drums. And the discs engage much faster.

And if the rest of the coach can't handle the better stopping power then move on to something else!

I don't think it's a case of whether the coach can handle it. It is a case of it wasn't ENGINEERED to be USED with it.
Then you're asking them to warranty their product with a accessory they didn't engineer for.

Here's a, poor, example.
S1 wire staples (to hold residential romex wiring) are ENGINEERED and APPROVED by the manufacturer to accept one wire...not two.
Therefore the electric code says ONE wire under a staple. When obviously you could easily and carefully put two under.
A house burned down in Ontario and the cause was determined to be electrical. They found S1 staples with two wires under and said this was the cause.
ESA (electric safety authority) had to pay for the house because they (ESA) inspected it and passed the double wire under the S1 staple which it is not engineered for.

Sure anyone can say look how easy 2 wires can go under this staple and how much neater everything is... BUT it's not engineered for it.
They can sell twice as many staples by only approving one wire per staple.

I know you nay sayers are gonna blast this to pieces but it what I was told by a electrical inspector when I tried to get him to approve some double wires. He said no chance will he approve it and this is why.
