Do it yourself for $1800ish. Call Bill at www.stopyourtrailer.com. Order everything from him for the 2011 Cameo. When I ordered the Lifestyle, I ordered it with the Dexter disc option. you'll love the performance and consistency of the disc. Good luck.

With my old truck I was never happy with the 5th wheel brakes. I had tested everything, cleaned connections & adjusted the brakes on the trailer many times but they just didn't feel strong enough. I had the right voltage and adjustment was correct each time. The controller was the type that connects to the truck brake master cylinder using the correct adapter for my truck.

It was so bad that I often considered changing out to Disc Brakes on the 5th wheel.

I bought a new truck that came with a drawtite electronic brake controller already installed.... with the first tow the brakes on the 5th wheel worked like I wanted them to. My old controller setup for some reason wasn't compatible.

No need to change to discs I'm very happy with the 5th wheel brakes now.

Ron from Performance Trailer Brakingdid my install...

the cost of the kits are around $1750.00 for Titan to $2,000.00 for the Kodiak kits..

If you are handy, and have tools it can be a DIY project, if not depending on installers they will charge between $500-$1000 for the install.
Ron did mine ,and it is night and day better! His guys came right to my house to do the job...
