Hi All..
I have been fighting with the rear brakes on my coach for as long as I have owned it.. I have never been happy with the brakes and it looks like I may be ready to take the next step.
I am considering putting disk brakes on at least one axle of the rear of my coach. From what I have been able to gather the rear wheels do not add that much to the overall braking of the coach. My brakes currently suck  so I may start with one axle and do the second if it is warranted.
I have looked at the Harrison kit (expensive but the largest capacity) Jim K's.. It is available for all 4 rears and looks like a good kit About 1/2 the cost of the Harrison kit per axle). And saw the TSM manufacturing kit that looks like it may be about the same as Jim k's but it is available with several options and can be bought per axle.
Many of you have experience with any of these? Do you need to keep or add the prop valve to the system?
Any real world experience would really be appreciated.
