[A/S] Power Disc Brakes, the latest thing??

[DFDureiko@xxxxxxx]

See the new TrailerLife. They're extolling the virtues of the latest 
technological breakthrough, vacuum assisted hydraulic disc brakes for 
trailers!!!!!!
hmm my '77 Airstream came with them from the factory....
granted the new brakes are more computerized, also, instead of the tow 
vehicle providing the vacuum, there is a vacuum pump on the trailer, making 
it more self contained. BUT, the artile meantions a lag before the brakes 
kick in. I don't have that problem, using the Midland UltraVac II that came 
with the trailer I've adjusted the brakes to come on just before the car. 
One reason I've kept my familys '77 is that I didn't want to give up the 
ExcellaVac Disc Brake system. It was going to cost me 2500.00 to have the 
brakes switched between mine and a newer trailer. Now I'll just retrofit the 
new system.
