Disc Brake Conversion

I am considering converting our Monty to disc brakes. Have any of you had this done to your coach? What did it cost? Were the results worth it? Thanks. Terry

T and J,
As noted in the reference above to a post of mine, the biggest cost is the acutator. Plan on spending about $1500 - $2300 if you do the work yourself.

Gary,

Thanks for the link. The towbrake reference does not work so use this one. It has everything.

I might give them a call after the first of the year.

When we converted to the Mor/Ryde axles two years ago, I almost had the disc brakes put on but decided against it because of the cost at the time. It's still on our minds for sometime in the future.
