    Excited - Disk brake install

    Talked with Performance Trailer Braking at the Quartzite rally and we are in the process of setting up an appointment for them to come on site (Sunbeam Lake RV Resort - near El Centro, CA) to install disk brake system and wet bolts. Can't wait.

    We had ours done in Quartzsite and really could not believe the difference on the way home. Highly recommended.

    Josh and Heather finished the install yesterday. Also had them install wet bolts. I could not believe that the old (2 years old) bolt bearings are worn out. Looking forward to seeing how these work. Expect to see Josh and Heather at the Colorado get-together in August.

    The first time you have to slam on the brakes, you'll consider the disks paid for. Don't go through the windshield, you won't believe the difference.

    howson -- I'm really sorry I did not take pictures of the install. I can't believe I forgot to. Guess I got to excited. There was so much supervision to attend to.

    update. Drove home from El Centro, CA -- about 1,000 miles. Really impressed with the way the new brakes work. We started out below sea level and got to 7,200 at home with lots of up and down on the eastern edge of I70 so we gave them a work out.
