Check www.championtrailers.com Total disk brake kit to include actuator,
lines, etc... cost about $400.00
You can also try http://www.ufpnet.com
I like their products but may be hard to retrofit on your trailer.
You will have to remove the existing coupler (hopefully it is bolted on
instead of welded on).
ChampionTrailers also has spare tires and everything. Prices are hard to
beat.

I will be traveling cross country pulling my 17 foot runabout (2500 pound
boat/trailer) with my Jeep Cherokee and I am seriously thinking about

buying
some brakes for my trailer. I have been thinking about it for years

anyway for
safety reasons. Looking at the Shorelandr web site, it seems that I will

have
to purchase an entire axle assembly and the hydraulic brake actuator

tongue.
Is this correct? Wow, this the better part of the whole trailer. Maybe I
should just buy a whole new trailer? I will call Shorelandr on Monday for

a
price, but anyone have any idea how much these brake kits will run me?

I am also going to purchase a spare tire, wheel, and mounting bracket.

This
trip is going to be expensive. These are things I have needed anyway, but

it
still hurts the pocket book.

The last time I moved cross country, I paid an outfit to load the

boat/trailer
onto their trailer and move it out. The move cost me $1800, and hoisting

it on
and off their trailer cost me $100 on each end. Now I'm beginning to

wonder if
I should just go that route again.

Thanks for any advice...

Kevin
