Jeff. Electric brakes will never duplicate the job that the disc brakes offer.
Having a separate vacuum pump is OK, but if you pump the brakes, you will loose all the vacuum.
Secondly, towing without brakes, creates a liability should you ever hit someone. With as many foolish drivers that are on the highways today, should any one of the slam on their brakes or cut in front of you, you will never slow down in time, to avoid an accident. Any guard house attorney will take you to task for operating a travel trailer on a public highway unsafely. Your liability carrier will cringe at the thought.
Changing from the disc brakes to electric brakes costs far more that the "braker."
