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

Hi Greg

I have been quite curious about these disc brake systems. Actually 
more for heavy Fifth Wheels than Airstreams.  Have you towed the 
units you installed the brakes on?

The engineer from Dexter Axle felt the Electric over Hydralic pumps 
did not produce enough pressure to generate hard braking for 
emergency stops etc.  He did admit the discs would have better fade 
resistance in hills.

How does the stopping force compare to a good working set of 12"x2" 
brakes with the control set to maximum?

Thanks for the posting I have been hoping to talk to someone that has 
used the system.
