Titan disk brake for my cardinal 5th wheel
I would like to know if changing out my drum brake on my 2016 cardinal 5th wheel to the Titan system is a good thing or not worth the cost?

I have Titan disc brakes and only you can decide if it's 'worth' the cost.......but it surely was for me.

I see you have a GMC. I have 2018 F350. Did they make the system work with your truck brakes?

Yes. It's turnkey. You just need a brake controller of some kind.

In my opinion the stopping power afforded to you with the disk brakes is well worth the cost.

X2 on that. Best mod I ever paid for, I can stop my camper before a commercial truck can. I can see the stop light turn yellow and I can stop. Came right to my house, I have a Silverado. All campers should come with disk brakes

No I didn’t. They were installed when I upgraded my axles to MORRyde independent suspension.

Great decision
The best thing I have ever done to my 5th wheel....stops in half the distance now....It is not worth it unless you never plan on an using your brakes....

Where did the master cylinder get installed on your 36CKTS?

I didn't mean it that way. I'm NOT A GEARHEAD. I figured I had the terms wrong. I've heard "Master Cylinder" all my life, but I couldn't identify one on "Price is Right"!! LOL

I bought the optional disk brakes and upgraded my rear axle when I ordered my Cardinal last spring and in my opinion any camper over 30 should have a disk brake option. The stopping ability is so much greater with disk over drum. The aftermarket systems are about the same amount as the disk brake option I ordered, it's worth every penny.
