Trailer brake upgrade question
Hello friends, As you can probably see based on my other posts, in less than a month I'm picking up my new 2018 Jayco Jay Flight 285 RLS SLX. Its GVWR is 8250 pounds, and I have a 2017 Ram 3500 C...

The biggest advantage I found with disk over drum on an RV trailer was consistency of stopping power. Drums would be a bit sluggish as I pulled out of storage and I end up cranking up the controller. Then after some miles they start gripping better and could lock up in a panic stop if I did not adjust the gain back down. Yes they are adjusted and whatever. The disks just work with consistent power every time in sync with the truck. No issues with getting worked in or locking up. No need to adjust the controller for various conditions.
For some other specialized use... do whatever makes you happy.
As for those four wheel drums on my old '65 Coronet they were good for three hard stops and then serious life flashing before your eyes fade would set in and you just keep rolling no matter hard you stand on the peddle.
Let me know when Ferrari switches back to drum :R
