brakes

I was wondering if anyone knows if there will be a vendor at the Goshen Rally that will install Disk Brakes. Would sure like to get this done. Was a Quartzite last year, but the would not install at the BLM land I was staying on. Oh well maybe this will be the time foe it. Thanks to anyone...

Starting a trip tomorrow and there are some 8% grades. Do you assist braking downhill using the manual button on the brake controller. T

Due to a blown tire, split in tread running 35 mph in town, about 2 years old, full 50psi. Purchased a new tire in Danville Va. Drove home, 120 miles. Inside tread worn badly on new tire. Looked at wheels and tires, measured camber, RR was 3 deg. neg, LR was 2 deg. Neg. Other axle looked...

Has anyone found a way to get rid of the removed drum brakes after a disk brake upgrade, other than taking them to the transfer station? Would be nice to not have to put them in the recycle stream...

This is my first post, so here goes: We purchased a 2017 FR Heritage Glen Lite last spring. The older 2007 F-150 seemed to brake just fine because the dealer had set the gain on the manual controller. I ended up having to get a 2017 F-150 5.0 and had the Ford dealer install the controller...

First outing after purchase. Very hilly/mountainous area of western PA about 12 miles from home. When we pulled the trailer into the camping site, the TT were smoking a little, smelled hot, and the wheels were hot to the touch. My braking controller (Reese's pod) decided it was confused on its...

I have a 2016 Surveyor 32BHDS. I repacked the wheel bearings this week and noticed one of the brake shoes on one axel is really worn alot. It needs replaces. They are 10" x 2.25 shoes. I searched for replacements and you can buy just the shoes but it seems sometimes the entire assembly with the...

First time poster. I have a 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan and I just purchased a barely used 2018 Rockwood Freedom 2280. I had the electric brake controller installed but I'm wondering what the recommended braking % might be for the the controller? The trailer weighs around 2300 lbs and I pick it...

I got into a brake discussion with a friend of mine who is replacing his brakes. He was able to upgrade his 5th wheel from non self adjusting to self adjusting when he purchased his parts. I was just wondering if anyone knows if my 2013/2014 Palomino Sabre 32RCTS has self adjusting brakes. I am...

Question regarding switching from a wireless brake setup to a truck built-in system. Short story. We had a Toyota Highlander (max load of 5000) and an EPro 19FD. The RV dealer could not reliably get the dealer supplied non-wireless brake control to work with the Highlander so went with a...

I have a 2016 Apex Nano 191rbs 4500 gvwr The brakes have never felt very strong. Why does it have a 4200# Lippert axle with only 3500# rated brakes? Brakes are 10x2.25" Thanks in advance. Jim

:roflblack:Need Help! Bought 39 ft trailer and was told by seller, to disconnect the battery cable when towing and connect when parked. Cable connection locks brakes when parked. This sounds fishy?????

My new trailer was delivered on Friday. I installed my hitch on Saturday and went for a drive for a few minutes around the neighborhood. I have built in trailer brakes (2015 2500 HD) and when I tried to use the brake controller it didn’t kick in the brakes at all from what I could tell. I turned...

Normally would not be an emergency but I am supposed to leave in the morning with the fiver for a new job. Long story short I jerked the 7 wire loose from the junction box on the hitch. I have reconnected it the best I can think of and everything works just no brakes. All lights work and the...

I have a 2010 half-ton Silverado with just over 60,000 miles. Low mileage because for the past few years it has been used almost exclusively for towing, which we do about once a month. During this time I have noticed that under load the truck brakes squeak loudly when I first hook up and...

This isn't a single click, so its not the magnets engaging the brakes. i'm just getting back from a trip for service at the RV dealer (unrelated service) and I notice when I'm getting off the exit a clicking noise on driver side trailer axles when braking. Not sure if its happening both sides...

I’ve read about other trailers with auto adjusting brakes recently. With our new tow vehicle I adjusted the electronic braking and it is currently set to the highest level and the brakes on the trailer do not lock up but they do provide braking assistance. I am wondering if my trailer brakes...

Working on the new to us PT Crusader 355. The break away isn't working. I just finished the chassis servicing, replaced bearing, adjusted brakes, and lube chassis. Brakes work when using the in truck actuator but when you pull the break away pin, brakes do not actuate. Do these trailers has a...

We have a 2018 Palomino Puma XLE 18-FBE is our first RV of any type and our towing experience is currently limited to short runs. We added electric brakes to our towing vehicle (2017 Toyota Highlander) and noticed that the brakes seem to pulse when I apply them. The dealer said that was normal...

We purchased a 2017 Solitude 310GK and 2017 Silverado 1 ton diesel in August 2017. Our first trip was close to home. Our second trip was through the UP of Michigan. The day we got home we pulled straight into our driveway...and when we got out of the truck we noticed our slides were out about...

I'm researching in preparation of upgrading from electric drum to E/H disc brakes on my 2009 CC Silverback 30 LSA. I just replaced the defective Lippert sealed axles with Dexter EZ lube. I have read up on Hydrastar, Dexter and Actulink and am leaning toward Dexter. Zodiac dacromet coated 12"...

I was shopping around for replacement parts to do a brake job on my trailer. One of the shops I spoke with said I should consider getting away from Dexter Never Adjust brakes and install the standard Dexter adjustable set. He claimed they usually recommend this because the brakes are always a...

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.
