Am I to believe that RAS has no opinion about Disk vs Drum brakes??
Obviously you all have an opinion about all the stuff that I didnt ask
about


Hi Tony,


Apparently not, I haven't ever seen disk brakes on a trailer so I
can't have much of an opinion on them. My only concern would be that
trailers tend to sit out side a bunch and I wonder if corrosion on the
Disks would be a concern.


Brian


yea, one of my local friends had the same concern which prompted me to
put up this post.

You all should be happy that you have me thinking strongly about
electric brakes now.


I would suggest looking at option of mechanical drum brakes.
No electric compatibility issues
No bleeding issues.
Cobra builds more trailers than probably anybody in the world for
gliders and they use mechanical. Look up options available from ALKO
out of Indiana.
FWIW
UH
