brakes

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

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...

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...

well picked up our new 42fskg on April 4th after a few delays. so at the dealership let just say that wasn't a pleasant experience. and leave it at that. so we headed out after two days at the dealership checking things out. then off to Reno NV. then back to Houston TX, over 5800 miles total...

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...

As the description says it’s a 280 rtx but one side of the trailers brakes don’t look like they are hooked up.

2018 T21TBHW (same as Rockwood A122) 2018 Kia Sorento 6cyl AWD Brakes not activating. The brake controller in the tow vehicle checks out OK. All brake lights are working. Power is going from the tow vehicle to the brakes. BUT, the controller is not showing that the trailer is connected...

Hey everyone, took the travel trailer out to the beach for some camping this weekend, the tow home seemed to go well until i pulled off the freeway to our exit to get home. I noticed that the brakes on the trailer would seem to grab and then disengage rather violently at the traffic light...

I drove home from the dealer and didn’t realize anything wrong (about 20 miles). Next time I moved it I heard what I thought were the chains dragging, but no. Had a friend identify where the sound is coming from and it’s from the front right wheel. Super loud like metal tumbling around in the...

How often do you have the wear on your brake pads checked and what has been the experience of how many miles they last? Also, same question for the wheel bearing and grease. Thanks

Dear User Forum, We are new to RVing and have a 2022 Imagine 2500RL we are pulling with a 2022 F250. In reading the F250 trailering manual section, they say to test the trailer brakes to determine the proper gain setting on the truck's trailer brake controller. It is adjustable between 1 and...

Earlier this summer I thought my brakes were weak and sure enough, found 2 of 4 wheels had bad seals in back and grease all over the brakes. I chalked it up to previous owner going crazy with a grease gun. Unit is 3 years old. I cleaned it all up, replaced the seals with ones from the local...

We have not used our trailer this summer because weekends and days off have been spent taking care of family. I decided I had better check the batteries water and state of charge. I have a solar panel so I just leave the batteries connected. I was expecting to see the normal 12.5v +/- but I had...
