This for sure wasn't directed at lestx and his own decision. It was about my thoughts of doing this same thing. I was interested myself and just within the past couple weeks talked to a trailer building company here in northern Utah that does this conversion on people's trailers. The technician I talked to about it for a while was straightforward about it: He told me he wouldn't do it personally, that with my diesel and the exhaust brake and my 13.5K lbs. of trailer weight, it just wasn't a smart way to spend $3K. I appreciated his honesty.
I've decided to spend the money (part of it anyway) on a 480W solar system instead, so I can boondock more comfortably. Then, I can take it with me to my next RV when I sell this one. Or, haggle with the new buyer if he/she might wish to buy that system from me. I sure couldn't do that with disc brakes!
I'm hoping by time I buy my next 5'er, whenever that might be, whatever brand that might be, disc brakes will be already on if from the factory, or at least an upgrade option.
