Hello,
I have a (new to me) 1991 34' Excella. Sometime in the past few years, the PO had a Kodiak disc brake conversion performed by the factory. It is amazing! I have never felt a trailer of any type stop with the authority that my Excella does! I can't imagine pulling without discs on a trailer ever again!
My query is this....
Upon investigating the owners manual, and all of the additional owners manuals, and other misc. literature, I find manuals and installation instructions for as many as 3 different actuators. ActiBrake, Carlisle, and some Chinese thing. I have what appears to be a brand new Carlisle 1600 installed currently.
Do you think the PO was crazy enough to simply try all 3 until he found one he liked? Is there a problem with each of these and had failures. leading him down this path of trial and error?
As I become intimate with my coach, I am learning he threw copious amounts of money into this AS, (yahoooo!) as evidenced by its condition, and function.
I can see trying certain products until you get it right, but brake actuators?
As far as I know, a pump is a pump!
What do you think? I really like the Carlisle. Seems very well engineered, and built.... I'm happy with his choice!
