brakes

Dexter brakes seem to be the go to however is that because of brand name trust or actually a better brake than the competitors? Is there a less expensive alternative that is equal to them? I have 6K axles however the 7K brakes are the same size. Are the 7k brakes any better than the 6K brakes...

Does anyone know what kind of brakes and drums I have? I need both, but the dealership wants to charge me over $2200 to do it. Sounds ridiculous when my mechanic will do it for $200. Anyone know what the brand/specs are?

Hello all. We have a 2021 Flagstaff MAC 176LTD and I’m having a hard time finding out if I can get electric brakes installed. I’m getting a new vehicle, but not something big and a few that I’ve looked at can haul my small pop up but towing capacity goes up a good bitch if I have brakes on the...

Back in September I bought a used 2022 524BBS 5th wheel from a large local dealer here in DFW. I was prepping it for it's first trip since bringing to home from the dealership. After hooking up I decided to tow it into town, get fuel, propane & generally just a test run. I had noticed it took a...

My question is does anyone know if the 2018 XLR Boost 31QB has brakes on all 4 wheels ? The reason why I am asking is i just got an estimate from the place that sold me my camper for 1070 dollars to have my 4 drums replaced and seals , the estimate does'nt include brakes or bearings . Does 1070...

My sil went to move his rv, but the brakes on 3 of the wheels were locked. He left it that night with the rv still plugged into the tow vehicle. The next morning, the battery in the TV was dead. Anyone have this problem and know how to fix it.

Have an Avenger 32bhs with the emergency last resort trailer braking system where if all else fails the small cable attached to the tow vehicle pulls out and the trailer brakes come on and stops it. Frankly I'm not sure what to call it. Anyway, early on we completely misunderstood how to deal...

I'm adding electric brakes to my 14' flat bed trailer, amazon has a kit for $200 Etrailer looks more like $300. My dilemma is the amazon kit is 4.5 stars, I trust Etrailer but they have been deep in my pockets lately. any body know the quality of the wheel bearings?

The front tires on my tandem axel Surveyor lock up OK but the rears do not. I have my brake gain running at 9 on my F150 factory brake activator and I don't seem to get good braking. I have tried running the gain at 10 and find the tires seem to lock up under hard braking. I always feel the...

good afternoon everyone. I have a question about the brake on my trailer. I'm not sure if my trailer has brakes and if so, what kind of brakes are electric or hydraulic? 2014 Forest River 15ft. viking

Hi all - Recently bought a used 2015 Jayco X17Z. Been going over everything to make sure it's ready to roll. Pulled the brake drum hub to inspect brakes, bearings, etc. Found it has 10" x 1.5" brakes on it. Everything I can find on eTrailer says it should have 10" x 2.25" brakes for that model...

I have a 2011 Roo 21SS and it appears that my 2020 Silverado cannot detect the electric brakes, nor can I feel any difference when I turn up the brake controller in my stopping power. Since I'm on the road and only have some basic tools and no multimeter, how can I troubleshoot this? I'm good...

I have a 2018 Riverstone 39FK and a 2020 Ram 3500 truck. The trailer had drum brakes and all marker and tail lights worked. After installing independent suspension with disk brakes the marker lights and tail lights stopped working. Has anyone heard of this issue and/or know the solution. We are...

Since the first day I took delivery of my new Rockwood 1940LTD I have had an issue with the electric brakes. They never felt right and eventually started making noise when brakes weren't even applied. Unfortunately, I could not find a local dealer to do the warranty work and the dealership I...

Hi everyone, First off, I want to thank everyone in advance for any help you can provide. I have a 2021 Forest River gray wolf 26DJSE with the solar panel package included from the factory. I took my camper out three days ago to the local campground nearby. It’s been connected to shore power...

So. We bought a pop up camper, and we're not sure about the brakes. I have a Subaru Forester which can tow 1,500, and this is what the camper weighs. I definitely feel it heavier than the other camper i had at 1,000 pounds. Any brakes would be appreciated, but I only had a 4 pin connector, but...

Does anyone else have the problem of their trailer break being suddenly disconnected on a Dodge ram? All the connections seem fine and tight.

I have a 2019 single Lippert axel FR trailer. I repacked the bearings and now have weaker braking. What I mean by weaker is that when new, the trailer brakes would lock up f I maxed out the controller gain. Now, they won't lock up. I took everything back apart and sprayed and wiped the...

Anyone upgrade the brakes on their MB Sunseaker?

I have a 22 model Salem FSX 178bhsk. What does the factory put in for brakes? I am not mechanically inclined so please bear with me. I assume there are brake pads and the rotor on these. I'm trying to determine what brand brake pads are on from the factory and their starting depth. After...

Arrrggggh! We're on our first outing with our Grand Design Transcend. Stopped on the way out of town to our destination. And when we tried to pull away from the gas pumps we couldn't move forward or backward. We've been sitting in a Kroger parking lot for 2 hours unable to move. Ideas, Please.

Just wanted to check to see how those that have disc brakes on their Cedar Creek like them and if there's any disadvantages of having it I would like to get them put on my Hathaway Edition going to run just a tad over four grand and I'm trying to see if it is worth it. Can do it myself for three...

Brakes in our TT worked well from Tucson to Why, AZ. Even for a panic stop. 3 days later, after hitching up, tested the brakes on leaving camp and nothing. I tested the umbilical cable conductivity and visually inspected the wires to each wheel. No anomalies noted. With DW squeezing the...

Hi, I have a 2013 Jayco Swift SLX 185RB travel trailer. I took it in to my local authorized Jayco dealer for some repairs and they told me I also need brakes. I have a single axle camper. I have been waiting 2 months and they keep telling me they are waiting for the brakes to come in...
