I can stop pretty quickly, have had to a few times, it always seems to be women in tiny cars wanting me to run over them!
I guess it was kind of a dumb question.
I'm sure it would help, just seems like overkill, like upgrading to 9k lb axles, for such a tiny lightweight trailer.
Especially one being towed by a 9000 lb truck.Resistance is Not Futile, It's Voltage Divided by Current.

The key here is the 9000# truck and 9000# trailer. When you get up to the 13000# rigs and above your truck to camper ratio has swung the other way far. Not that I think disc brakes are not worth it I am considering these myself but I think they really shine on the heavier rigs.
Just my thoughts....

Yesterday, one of those women in small cars with a death wish proved the value of my disk brake investment. Came around a blind corner in a construction zone and the small car was stopped trying to decide if she wanted to turn in to a driveway or just go somewhere else and cause an accident. The truck brakes were in full ABS mode and we came to a stop less than ten feet from the car in front of us who had also slammed on their brakes. Absolutely no doubt that drum brakes would have taken at least another ten feet to stop. I marked the brake mod as paid for and if I could improve them even more, I would.

I have had a couple of recent cancellations for the rally which has opened up spots at the resort. Watch your email. I am emailing direct to people on the waitlist as well as sending the EventBrite notification. You only have 24 hours to claim the spot before we move on to the next person. I have a long wait list and will not hold spots if you don't respond.
