Just wondering why your calipers were installed facing each other? The install procedure for the Hydra Star disc brakes shows both facing the rear of the trailer. Is the brand of brakes you installed different? Just wondering if I need to change mine around.
Performance Trailer Braking did the install. Given they've done hundreds of them, including many while I was at the rally, I assumed they knew what they were doing. They were Titan brakes. I also removed the calipers myself to lube the bearings and replace the seals once. I had no issues or saw anything that would suggest the brakes were not installed properly. And they worked fantastics for the 3 additional years I had that unit. Since then, I've had no calls from the new owner with any problems or questions. Hope this helps.
Tom, I paid $5449 in August 2018 at the GD Rally in Elkhart, IN. That price included a $200-$300 discount for having it done at the rally. That prices was for everything you see in the video, including labor. Hope that helps. Chris
@@ourtimetorv3151 Thanks for sharing the price. Now I know what to plan on. Not likely we'll get a discount, as the GD rally isn't in our current plans of travel. :)
@@MightyBobo Haven't put the whole setup to the test yet as much of the suspension upgrades were for some planned boondocking. That said, the suspension no longer flattens out any more, so that's good. As for the tires that were upgraded prior to this video, 100% satisfied going from E to G Load Ratings. The brakes are GREAT!!! The stopping power is much more improved for those situations when people jump in front of us. Overall, I have no regrets and sleep a lot easier. Great investment. Good luck.
@@ourtimetorv3151 The brakes were my actual concern. But it seems that if you're going to upgrade the brakes, you may as well do the whole she-bang in the process.
Nice install, nice job explaining the process.

Been dreaming about this update on our GD 375RES 2017. What might I expect to pay with these folks doing the install?

@@ourtimetorv3151 Seems like a great deal. Thoughts after a year of the upgrade?
