Expert Reply:
For your conversion to hydraulic brakes on your 7,000 lb dual axle RV, I recommend the Hydraulic Brake Kit - Uni-Servo - Free Backing - 12" - Left/Right Hand Assemblies - 5.5K to 7K # AKFBBRK-7. These assemblies are side specific and are labeled for you. These will work with your current hub and drum assemblies. For installation and adjustment, you will want the Brake Adjustment Spoon for Drum Brakes # W80630. If you need the mounting bolts for these assemblies, I recommend # BRKH12.
If you want the complete wiring, I recommend the HydraStar Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator w/ Breakaway and 7-Way RV Harness - 1,000 psi # HS381-9065. If you have the wiring and just need the actuator, I recommend the HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Drum Brakes - 1,000 psi # HBA-10.
For the brake line kit, I recommend the HydraStar Hydraulic Brake Line Kit - Tandem Axle - 25' # HS496-252. This page shows you the layout for the brake lines. It is a strong flexible brake line for easier install and durability. This kit is also available in 20 foot # 20TA-BLKIT and 18 foot # 18TA-BLKIT.
