brakes

heading to Florida from Ohio, on snowy roads do you add more or less brake to the trailer?

Anyone ever try using the braking system for their toad when bleeding brakes? The monitor has that button to press brakes manually and I was thinking it might be easier then doing the 1 man routine of running back and forth between the caliper and brake pedal.

For sale 2016 EZ tow Dolly with Hydraulic disc brakes. Spare tire, two sets of straps, one used but serviceable the other one brand new, never used. Replaced OEM safety chains with 10,000 lbs capacity. Excellent condition, garaged kept since bough new last fall. Registered in CA, has license...

I know compressing air can result in moisture in tanks. How does the Freightliner Chasis handle this for the DX3 and Force? Do you have to drain the tanks periodically or is it expelled automatically?

"Check trailer brake" and "Trailer brake not connected" issue with 2015 Ram dually Hi everyone. We just picked up our 2018 Momentum 376th and had an immediate issue with a dash warning coming on - check trailer brake and trailer brake not connected for about 5 second before clearing. My...

Just got done with a trip that involved some city driving that had me sitting at stoplights and in stop and go traffic for long periods of time during rush hour. Is there any issue with the electric trailer brakes overheating and creating problems when sitting with my foot on the brakes? Thanks

I have owned this Salem Cruise-Lite 241 QBXL for over a month and I’m concerned about the braking action. When coming to a stop the brakes grab/release, grab/release several times before coming to a complete stop. I have a Prodigy 2 controller and find it really difficult to adjust it so that...

2016 Vibe 221RBS and I just got 2017 F150 to pull it. And the Tow computer is asking if I have Electric Magnetic or Electric over Hydralic brakes and sadly I don't know. Any help appreciated.

We have a 2017 Surveyor 251RKS and the brakes suddenly quit working. I thought it might be the TV Prodigy P2 brake controller but I measure zero volts at the plug and with the brake peddle down it measures 4.8VDC. I called the Tekonsha help line and they said that those voltages are correct...

Since I purchased this camper about two months ago I have been trying to get the brakes working correctly. The brakes seem very weak to me but the dealer said that's the way they are on single axle camper. So today I am having a new plug put on the camper by my mechanic that said the voltage is...

GDRV, I have a 2018 Reflection 28BH built 5/17 and I'd like to find-out whether or not it was built with self-adjusting brakes. It seems, from reading the forum, like some trailers have them while others do not. Did GDRV switch to self-adjusting brakes across any/all of their model lines in...

I have a 2017 300bh. My brakes have stopped working and I don't want to take it to the dealer for warranty work because I know they'll just keep my rv for months and then screw it up. So I at least want to try to figure this out myself. Here's the deal: I have an older model Jordan brake...

I recently took my T2460 in for some warranty repairs and also asked them to check the TT brakes as I thought they were not working 100%. I always check the gain on the controller before I set off each trip so that is how I knew the brakes were not functioning correctly. The dealer reports the...

Just bought a new wolf pup trailer . The brakes seem really weak on the trailer I can't achieve brake lock up at any gain setting with manual brake lever is this normal for this trailer. Took my truck to the Chevy dealer they say it's putting out correct voltage camper dealer says it's the...

Planning a two month trip next summer, and will likely be dragging a Jeep too. What is everyone liking for braking systems?

Took my 2014 Wildwood 29fkbs into Goodyear to upgrade my 225/75R15 "china bombs" to Goodyear Endurance tires. Had them repack the wheel bearings and check the brakes. Front grease seals leaking - had to replace brake shoes. I was surprised because the unit is only 3 years old with around 10k...

I have a cardinal 3825 FL with drum brakes of course I have settings 1 through 10 my question is if I put it up on 8 to 9 will it burn up the brakes just from just riding along without applying them

I'm in the process of replacing all four brakes on the TT. The right front brake had a lot of sticky dirt inside the drum...not normally loose brake dust. When I removed the left rear I found the entire assembly covered in sticky grease. Shoes, backplate, drums, etc. There was no evidence of any...

What is best way to ensure brakes are working on travel trailer? While towing this past weekend my brakes on the truck became very hot and I was not using them a lot. Had new pads put on today and was told had plenty of pad left on front and back. I don't think camper brakes working correctly...

I have a 2014 Columbus 365rl- I need to replace the brakes. I see on etrailer I can buy the backer plate fully assembled. How do I know which one I need to order?? Has one replaced theirs yet?

We've been on three trips now and my brake still seem lite. I have a P 2 controller and have boost set on 1 to get any tug like I was told to set it up. My old trailer had manual adjust and it would grab with no boost and could tell they were working . The dealership said it's because the new...

The first time we took our 2017 376Momentum out of our yard, within three or four miles a lot of smoke! Straight to the dealer after talking to to the right guys on the phone. It's still at the dealer (longer than we have owned it), waiting to see who picks up the tab for repairs! Anyone else...

Can anyone tell me if the brakes are vacuum or active? Need to set up the RVI 3 braking system. Vacuum uses a vacuum to boost the pressure, active have electrical or hydraulic systems. I'm speechless, it's beyond my pay grade

Inquiring minds need to know...:confused: I've read lots of posts on the easy-lube axles saying don't do it because you may blow out the rear seal and contaminate the brakes with grease. I fully believe that to be true for trailers with drum brakes - which apparently is the vast majority of...
