Can a Higher Dot Brake fluid be used?
I ran Motul 660 Brake fluid in my race car its dot 6 and has an extremely high boiling point and i never had any fade. flushed every other month due to being in a vented master cyl. It is hydroscopic and absorbs water in the atmosphere quite quickly so flushes are required more often. It won't be as bad in a sealed system like mountain bikes, some motorcycles and I'm not sure but our RV's A water brake fluid tester be used to check the change interval. I would flush @ Annual regardless.
My 2 Cents.
Good luck
Like Scott says, this should never be a problem with RV brakes.
If you have to do a hard stop on landing, it should be for a very short duration.
If your brakes get hot while taxiing, you are taxiing much too fast. And if you are taxiing that fast, you should have enough rudder authority to turn.
Thanks for all of the information. What part number of the new thicker disk did you use? Since I'm ordering new disk in the morning, that info would be great.
Thanks again for everyones input..

This got off track. If the puck did not transfer the heat to the oring and into the fluid, there would be no problem.
Hope there is some engineer out there that can chime in on putting a insulator on the puck to fix the problem.
But.......why? These brakes calipers and rotors are perfectly fine for RV's. I fly off a 2500 foot strip and hardly use the brakes at all. If I do land long and have to use some moderately heavy braking there is never a problem. Why bother with modifying something that works?
