brakes

I need to replace my electric drum brakes I have a 2016 forest river Salem model 30qbss. Does anyone know what brakes I need to replace it with? Preferably what originally comes installed??

As a proud owner of a2016 2504s, we have put about 4000 miles on it so far this year. Getting ready to lube the axles for the first time. My question is do I have self adjusting brakes? Is there a way to tell without pulling the drum? I looked through all the paperwork that came with the unit...

we have as 2015 cardinal 5th wheel (16,000 lbs) and we took a long trip last year and towed it about 6,000 miles throughout the northwest. it appears to me that the trailer brakes are not as strong as they used to be, even with the gain to the max. is there any rule of thumb on when they need to...

Just a little fyi. I was going to adjust my brakes on my 285 slr and found out that they come with self adjusting brakes. Wish I would have known that before I got it all jacked up and on jack stands. Live and learn.

WTW, I have a Tacoma and just purchased a FWC Eagle shell. I also just found out I'll be moving to Germany for a 3 (possibly 6) year stay. I'll be shipping the truck and camper to Germany in March. I'm now prepping the truck and have a few questions I hope you all could answer. I’m looking...

I finally upgraded to a new 2016 Chevy 2500HD Duramax truck. Love it! But, I can't figure out if I have the integrated brake controller set correctly. The manual lever will NOT lock the brakes at 20-25mph as the manual says. But the manual also says if they don't lock, just set it to max...

I just bought a 2017 MicroLite 21FBRS. The brakes seem very "loose", dealer adjusted them but they still will not lock the trailer wheels when just idling and creeping forward. Until they were adjusted they wouldn't stop movement at all. Retard slightly, but not stop. You feel the trailer...

Will trailer brakes work if I don't have trans in tow/haul mode?Truck is 2015 GMC sierra.

Just purchased a master tow 80 tow dolly with electric brakes to tow my 2004 Acura TSX which weighs about 3300 lbs. to tow behind my 2016/15 3050. I've been hearing several different opinions of which is better brake controller - tekonsha voyager, primus or prodigy p2? Been told don't spend the...

Have any owners of a HW296 ever had issues with the trailer brakes? I have had my 2012 for a year now, with a few short trips under the belt, and have not utilized the trailer brakes as of yet. When I first picked up the camper, I hooked up the trailer braking system, drove about 30 miles and...

Hello all. I'm in need of assistance. I have a shamrock 19, and am traveling to florida. I seem to have lost my brake lights and signals. All of the other exterior lights are functioning. I have already replaced the bulbs just to be sure. This did nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When checking brake temperatures I noticed the forward brakes consistently show 15-20 degrees hotter than the rear brakes. I'm assuming this is due to slightly more weight on the axle when the Harley is not loaded. I'm curious if this is normal or is it showing a problem. I'll have the chance...

Like new, used once to bring the trailer home. Traded TV and the new one has a built in controller. It comes with everything as new EXCEPT the universal pigtail cable, I left it hard wired in the Chevrolet Colorado. New vehicle specific cables are about $10-$15. $75 if you can pick up in the...

My air pressure on front brakes are staying in the red (low pressure) 0n my2000 Reflection 327S,so what to look for??

Hi Gang. I am trying to figure out where to start with a problem I'm having, so naturally thought of you guys first. At some point during my 300 mile trip home last night, my trailer braking system stopped working, so I'm trying to come up with likely starting points. A few details: I'm...

I just had a controller put in my tow vehicle for my Rockwood 2514g. When disengaging the brake from a complete stop, there is a single click coming from the breaks. Is this normal? I currently have it set so I feel minimal/no drag from the back and it feels smooth in all braking situations.

We leave our Roo at a campground and they place it on site before we arrive....and return to storage at the campground when we leave. Somehow...during our last camping time the breakaway brake cable is missing. Can we buy just the cable and reconnect ?

Some freightliner forums say the harness is under the dash, some say it is under the cab drivers side. I bought the DirecLink brake controller that uses the interior brake control harness. Has anyone had luck finding it behind the dash. The second pic is the harness that is under the cab.

I hope I'm in the right topic. I'm having a terrible time finding a replacement lens for my 2010 3625 5th wheel. It's a Glo Brite P/N 9541. Do any of y'all have a source? Etrailer and Camping World don't have. I haven't contacted Forest River yet. If there's a crossover I'd like to know that...

We recently purchased a new RAM 3500 4WD Diesel truck to tow our Rockwood 8281 5th wheel. Question is how to we set the trailer brakes Light Electric, Heavy Electric, Light Electric over Hydraulic or Heavy Electric over Hydraulic. Not sure what the difference is. Can't find anything useful in...

We arrived home from our trip only to find that our emergency brake cable is in two pieces. What does this mean? How could this happen? And did we do any damage to our truck braking system or our camper batteries, because the camper battery is dead. Any info would help.

I have a 2014 Ram 2500 pulling a 31' travel trailer. After about 3 weeks on the road, I get the message to check the wiring & trailer is disconnected. The strange thing is that it only happens after coming to a complete stop (exiting highway for gas). Once I pull back on the highway the brakes...

I have a 2015 Silverado 2500HD with the integrated brake controller. When slowing down and at about 10mph, I can feel the truck shimmy a little. Not a big problem but never happened with my old camper (new one is about 7k lbs dry). Any advice on what to check out?

Trailer lights go out when brakes are applied. Lights and turn signals work but everything goes out when brakes are applied.....frustrated!!
