I agree with all of the above post! We have a 2008 Montana 3665, which is about 40' from bow to stern!

In October we moved from the Dexter 7k axles and drum brakes to the IS 8k axles, with disc brakes. HUGE difference in hauling. We have a better foundation under the 5th wheel, and the big difference is that MORryde aligned the axles on the trailer. This week finished a 1k+ trip through the southwest and the tire heat never went above 90 degrees. Pressure is always good, but I worry about tire heat!

The only downside is that you will add 800 to 1000lbs of weight to the trailer with the IS, disc brakes. (NOTE - I had extra steel added to the frame to raise the trailer to level with the hitch; and that will account for some of my additional weight!)

If you can afford it, do it!

Cheers
