Interesting thread. I have been having similar issues with my PJ 30 gooseneck
with quality axles and electric brakes. I too have considered going to electric
over hydraulic brakes primarily for safety and reliability. I did a lot of research
on this several months ago. Most trailer shops said cheaper to replace with new
axles than to spend on labor to refit new brakes to old axles. Several trailer supply
houses sell kits to convert to hydraulic and it is expensive. I did find a place called
lugnut4x4.com and he sells kits to change an axle from drum to disc brakes. He
sells a lot to the offroad guys but his kit should work for trailers also.
Thanks for that link.
