    I have a 2015 Georgetown 351DS with less than 13,000 miles on odometer, just got home from week long 2000 mile adventure. My brakes are squeaking. I also noticed while running alongside a barrier wall that they squeak when I turn to the right, i.e. when I put load on the left when I swerve...

    Adjusting brakes?

    So I got a wheel off the ground with a rhino ramp max and was barely able to get a wheel spinning. Took the grommet off but I can't see a star gear of any sorts to adjust through the grommet hole. Any other way to accomplish an adjustment?

    Pulsating trailer brakes stumper

    Has anyone out there ever had an issue with pulsating trailer brakes? We have a 2015 FE LE 312 BHDS and towards the end of last summer the trailer brakes, when I would start to brake, would grab like they should then let go and grab again etc. This happens whether using the manual lever or not...

    Rockwood 2306 Brakes not locking up

    I just picked up a Rockford 2306 this Saturday, the weather was poring rain and the roads were slick. I have Nissan Titan with a Tekonsha P3 brake controller. As I am dialing in the amount of force the brake controller will deliver I was really surprised that I can max out the brake controller...

    Question Regarding Brakes, (Need Help)

    I am replacing my axle and I have removed the brake hub on the curb side, (side with the door). The brake magnet on that side is at the top. It is at the bottom on the other side. I have never seen a magnet at the top, but I have not seen but 5 or 6 trailer axles. Is this common or is this...

    what size ARE those brakes?

    I need help. I need to order brake magnets for my 2010 MAC BR28TSC. I tried calling Forest River but no one is home, shuffled off to parts, won't answer phone. Local dealers are at the show and the woman who answered was "just answering the phone". Its nowhere in the literature, manuals or...

    Disc Brakes

    At the Goshen Rally last year there was a vendor for installing disk brakes. Anyone know who that vendor was and perhaps have contact info? It has come time for me to upgrade to disc brakes. Thanks! Love my Wildcat 295RSX!

    Disc Brakes

    We were at the 2017 RV Supershow in Tampa yesterday and fell in love with a Cedar Creek Hathaway edition and could not find any thing that we did not like except upon further review Disc Brakes are not an option. For us that is a deal breaker. Once you see how much better they work than the...

    M&G Engineering Auxiliary Brakes review

    Take a look at the M&G Engineering Brake System. I installed it on my 2016 Georgetown XL 378 / Honda CR-V combination and could not be happier. It is a very unique design that (a) gives truly proportional braking and (b) has nothing visible in the car. I don't see much written about them, and...

    Trailer Brakes

    It is probably answered somewhere and I am using the wrong search criteria. When a 5th wheel is disconnected from the tow vehicle, do the trailer brakes lock. I have parked on some slanted areas before and always use chocks prior to disconnecting and not brave enough to "test" that theory...

    Turn signal lights in front with brakes

    2015 REV RB I see this while guiding the RV as it is backed up and I am at the front. When the brakes are applied, the front passenger side turn signal, lights up solid like the brake light. The turn signals are not turned on. All the lights work correctly except for this. The lights are...

    2014 Georgetown XL brakes

    We just purchased a 2014 Georgetown XL 378 with 2900 miles on it. When in park with the engine off, if I depress the brake peddle a buzzer sound of sorts is heard ? When running no sound is heard. We drove it home some 600 miles and the brakes work fine. But it does concern me. Any ideas as to...

    Question about Brakes

    Took my 29HFS to dealer to get the ramp door replaced. Towed it around 7k this year. Owned it a year and just wondering if I should have them look at the brakes. Maybe not so much to be replaced but adjusment? Anything else I should have them look at while its there? Thanks

    RV Brakes Smell In Toad?

    After towing a 2001 Prius on an American Tow Dolly behind our 2006 SunSeeker for 1000 miles, I noticed what I thought was a burnt rubber smell inside of the car. The vents flushed the odor from the cabin after about ten minutes. On the return trip we followed a semi down a long downgrade...

    Brakes

    We purchased a 2015 Flagstaff 8528IKWS 5er in September and recently had our first long trip (Charleston SC). I noticed that the brakes didn't seem to have as much stopping power as I am used to. We had another 5er previously and I have other trailers. When I got home I started checking...

    Brakes on one side only?

    I recently purchased a 2017 Grey Wolf 26DBH. My braking didn't seem like it should be so i took a look under the trailer and saw that only the left two wheel's brakes are wired but the right side was not. I clearly can see the connections and that it has brakes on the wheels but there's no...
