Did a single brake conversion on my class c motorhome
FYI was a little more work than I had anticipated but luckily I have a buddy who's mechanic. Pulled the driver's front as well as passenger rear so that way it stops straight. I knew I had to cut a little weight and this was the perfect place.
No idea why people haven't looked at this to trim fat before? Gotta go - headed up the Grapevine. Will post when I get back down the other side!

YES.
Good point. Question is should I remove dual wheels from both sides or only from single brake side?

You probably don';t need all that power.. I would probably remove one exhaust header(they're very heavy) and put block-off plates over the exhaust ports.Save weight-save gas!!

I was thinking that you may have gone the Fred Flintstone route and bought yourself some "hi friction" Ked's and just popped a hole in the drivers side floorboard.
Think of all the parasitic drag you could have reduced by removing the brakes at all 4 corners.
