Why upgrade your Drum brakes to Disc

Converting from drum to disc brakes on an RV can significantly improve braking performance, safety, and maintenance convenience. Here are the main reasons why RV owners make the switch:

Improved Braking Performance

• Shorter stopping distances: Disc brakes generally offer better stopping power, especially under load — crucial for heavy RVs.

• Better heat dissipation: Disc brakes cool more efficiently than drums, reducing brake fade on long downhill grades or repeated stops.

Consistent Braking in Wet Conditions

• Disc brakes are less affected by water and debris, making them more reliable in rain or off-road conditions.

Easier Maintenance and Inspection

• Visual access: Pads and rotors are easier to inspect than drum components, which are enclosed.

• Simpler pad replacement: Replacing disc brake pads is typically quicker and easier than replacing drum shoes and springs.

Enhanced Safety

• Disc brakes are more responsive and can help reduce the risk of brake failure under stress, especially important when towing or navigating steep grades.
