Hi. You could use the signal that goes to your existing brakes to control the pump but you will still need to tap into the power supply and break-away wires. The break-away wires will likely only be up in your pin box. D
Great video! Thank you for your time in putting this together. I am in the process of ordering the parts. Question; did you have any issue with the wheels fitting onto the 9/16 lugs since they were previously mounted on 1/2 inch lugs?
Thanks. No, there was no issue. The holes in our wheels were big enough. I’d recommend measuring yours to be on the safe side though. Just make sure you buy lug nuts with the same shoulder angle as your existing ones. You will love having brakes that work! D
Thanks for watching. I have not completed the installation yet but if they work as advertised I’m (Dave) sure it will reduce the number of “white knuckle” moments. Thanks for watching. D&J
NoFixedAddress I’ve seen a few videos of folks that have done the same upgrade. Seems like a good upgrade especially with weight concerns. we’ve flirted with it but weight isn’t as big a concern for us. Though there have been many “white knuckle” trips 😬😬

I wish manufacturers did the right thing and put the disk brakes on at the factory.
Absolutely agree! In my opinion electric brakes are not reliable enough.

Would it be possible to tie into existing electric brake wires from pin box ,which is already in place ???

Ok, one more question. Any leaks in the oil bath system or need to change clear plastic cap with something not as susceptible to damage?
I have had a couple of leaks over the past couple years but just had to snug up the caps a bit. None of the plastic caps has broken or cracked.
Needs more Janice ;)
The video features her hand though. Not enough? I’ll see what we can do to fix that in Part 2. Thanks for watching. D

Pretty amazing. Excited to see the follow up videos and I agree for the weight, it seems worth the peace of mind 👍
