Hey, guys, it's Jake here with etrailer. Today, we have a 2020 Grand Design Momentum, and we're gonna be taking a look at and I'm gonna show you how to install the Kodiak Disc Brakes for 7,000-pound axles. From the factory, your Momentum is going to come with your traditional-style drum brakes. And when you get into a camper of this size or a trailer of this size, the drum brakes really are not. They're not gonna work very well because when drum brakes get very hot, they don't like to work properly, that's where our disc brakes come in. They're gonna stay cooler, they're gonna provide better braking, and ultimately give you more comfort when you're traveling down the road. more

Hey guys, it's Jake here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at and I'm gonna show you how to install the Hydrastar disc brake kit for triple axles. Now one of the biggest issues, which you may already know if you're watching this video, is that big RV's like this one weighing in at 16,500 pounds dry, that's before any fuel in the fuel tank, any water in the tanks, anything inside of it, this one is a toy hauler, the normal electric brakes, the drum brakes, are not really adequate for stopping this size of a vehicle. This vehicle itself has a GVWR of 21,000 pounds, so that's a lot of weight. The disc brakes are going to perform way better than your standard drum brakes. A drum brakes, the biggest problem with them is that they get really hot, and they do not like to cool down because they're all contained inside the drum. more

Hi there Solitude owners. Today in your 2017 Grand Design Solitude, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install, Hydrastar Electric Over Hydraulic Disc Brake Kit.This is a tandem axle kit. So it's going to provide you with everything that you'll need to get two axles setup and switched over from your old electronic brakes to your hydraulic disc brakes. This includes your rotors and bearings to get those on, your calipers and caliper mounting brackets, that will go where your old backing plate was for your drum brakes set up.In addition to that, you're also going to receive your hydraulic lines and hoses and all the fittings necessary to get all of the plumbing and fluid routed to each caliper. Each of your calipers will come loaded with brake pads, so they're already going to be in place ready to slide onto your rotor when you get it on. And you'll receive a high pressure hydraulic actuator for your calipers, and we're going to have that installed up at the front.Here's your typical drum brake electric system that you would have on your trailer. more

etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes Installation on a 2017 Grand Design Reflection Fifth Wheel- Video
Hi there trailer owners, today on your 2017 Grand Design Reflection, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install etrailer's Electric Trailer Brake Kit. This is what your brake assembly is going to look like once you've got installed.Some of the features on this assembly that really stand out to me that make it better than some of the competitors is the shoes that are located on each side. They're going to be fully bonded shoes, so there're no rivets. Some of the other shoe manufacturers out there we'll place rivets that hold the friction material on. And the problem with the rivets, it does hold the pads on very nicely. But when your shoes wear down, eventually the material is going to wear it down into the rivets, which can then dig into your drum assembly and destroy the entire drum assembly with the bonded pads here, the material will wear down and it'll have to get all the way down to the metal here before that would happen. more
