    Brakes lock up when wet

    My last two trips out with my 2016 Roo 19, it has rained. I don't know if that is just a coincidence, but each time when I went to leave for home, whenever I hit my brakes to slow down the trailer brakes would lock up. After several start and stops and locking up, it would eventually start to...

    Tekonsha electric assist brakes

    I have installed this system and am not sure if I adjusted them correctly. Can someone give me an overview or tips on adjusting and how they should work. I don't fowl them working when towing but maybe that is how it should feel? Thanks

    Interesting problem with recently purchased 2015 3500 Ram SRW maxi cab. Last week all four brakes assemblies were replaced. Truck sensed the trailer and was somewhat happy. The brakes did not seem to be as good as they had been with my previous truck (2013 2500 Ram Crewcab) Left Florida on...

    Brakes! 2 week old = NONE

    I purchase our Sierra 377 FLIK on May 5th and on the way home we had problems with the trailer saying check wiring on the truck. We figured the 7 way pin was loose. So I had a 7 way plug installed in the bed of the truck. On June 3rd I brought the trailer back home from storage and...

    Noise from passenger side brake when TV brakes pressed

    I noticed today that the brakes on my HTT make a high pitched noise (almost sounds like what you heard when some vehicles back up but is a continuous sound). It is coming from the passenger side wheel area and happens when the brakes are pressed, even if it is stationary. Any ideas what it might be?

    Grease Soaked Brakes. Replaced!

    We've had this RV a little over a year and I've been having braking problems for a while now. I knew I needed to check the brakes and bearings for a while now, but didn't expect to find what I found. Keep in mind that I've never done anything to the bearings. I've never added grease through the...

    Brakes are GONE.

    Folks I'm in a tough spot right now. My 2016 WA2916 needs new brakes. Yes.... already. However, it's not due to the manufacturer but because of a faulty brake controller I had all last summer (I have a P3 now) and didn't catch it in time. Do any of you have experience with brakes on these? I'm...

    Disc Brakes - Failure

    I am a strong proponent of disc brakes on 5th wheels. The difference in stopping distance is night and day. I currently have them on my 2014 Dynamax Trilogy and had them on my 2008 Cedar Creek. We were heading to Aurora, Colorado after having spent part of the winter in Arizona and California...
