brakes

This is my first single axel travel trailer. I was crawling under it and noticed only one side (the drivers side/non entry door side) has wiring running to the brakes, but on the other side, no wiring, only the 2 wires coming from the back of the assembly. Is this normal or did someone do an...

Hi, I'm green at this and just joined the forum. I have a 2002 Sierra Lite travel trailer which we bought used and my partner and I drove it for a week before the brakes engaged. What should we look for to troubleshoot this problem? We just had a seven-pin electronic system installed in our van...

Where in the hell do I find information on how much weight i can add to the dry weight of my 2004 21 shamrock without fear of having any issues? I would think there should be a sticker somewhere. Finding information online is stupid. I have my new Carlisle tires and and new spare and rim. I...

I have a 2018 Ram 2500 with the Cummins diesel and need to change the brakes. Our TT is a Ultra Lite 2906RS with a I’ve of 7981 lbs Gross 9700lbs. Only have 36000 miles on the truck but the brakes are starting to squeak. Have rued blowing out with air and using brake clean to remove any dirt...

I have a 2020 Rockwood Ultra Light fifth wheel that I purchased new. I don't tow very many miles each year because we have a seasonal lot about two hours from home. I have always checked to make sure my trailer brakes work before leaving, but have never had to make any kind of panic stop, so...

Patiently waiting for a call from my dealer to tell me my FR3 34DS has arrived and ready for pickup !!! It's off the assembly line, but waiting on furniture. In the meantime, I'm spending lots of time trying to get ahead of the curve, and that includes vehicle insurance. From past experience...

We just purchased a used 2000 Rockwood Premier Series M-2516G pop up tent camper. As you might have guessed, it did not come with a manual. What kind of brakes is it likely to have and how are they controlled? Any help/guidance is much appreciated. Also, is there any way to get a wiring...

We have 241qbxl. Smelled brakes upon arrival yesterday after only driving for about 30 min. Never smelled before. Any clues as to why?

My wife & I recently purchased a Grey Wolf 25RRBLT Toy Hauler, to haul our touring Motorcycle around, using the Trailer as a base camp for seeing the lower 48. After losing a hub cap and a bearing cover to NON-balanced E load range tires that we upgraded to. We resolved that. Next move: the...

I have a 2021 Nobo 19.3 and the brakes suck. Two other trailers I towed with my truck required me to dial the brake output back to keep from locking up. Not the Nobo, they wont stop the trailer at all. Its only a nine month old rig, hardly used, hasnt been used in any weather so I doubt wires...

Hi all! I am driving a 2017, F-150, 2.7 engine, XLT, with max tow package. I have had the truck about 6 months and very pleased. I am pulling a 2017 Roo 23ws. Everything seems to handle fine, but truck does not have a trailer brake controller. I thought it was braking the trailer, but Ford...

I live in south Florida and have no experience with winter weather. Next year, we are starting off on a long trip in February and we may encounter sub-freezing temps for a few weeks (or a heat wave, who can tell anymore?) I have heard about parking brakes freezing to the wheels so was...

What are the best braking systems for towing a Jeep, I’ve been looking at blue ox the patriot 3 and the invisibrake. I like that with the blue ox it’s not all the wires and hoses and hardware on the brake pedal but I don’t know anything about this any help will be great.

Found that my trailer brakes work really, really, really well. The cable pin pulled loose on a right-hand turn. Heard a "clunk" but figured I'd just hit a road hazard. Pulled over on the closest wide spot (about 25 feet from "clunk") and "service trailer brakes" light blinked on. I'm grateful...

A general question. I apologize for the length of the post. My tow vehicle is a 2021 Ford F150. I came with a tow package. On the dash, it has a "Gain" switch with a plus and minus sign. On the screen, I can go to the tow section and go to the Gain Section. Moving the plus sign raises the gain...

Hello All, My new TV has TPMS valves/sensors for the PUP. I'm wanting to pull the tires for my local garage to install the new sensors. While I have the tires off I figure its a good time to adjust the electric brakes, as 100% gain on my TV is not locking up the PUP brakes. The HW296 is dial...

I am wanting to change my non self adjusting brakes to self adjusting brakes on my 2015 Blue Ridge fifth wheel. Can someone tell me if I need to replace the old drums when I do this. Thanks

Hey, new to the forum. did some searches and did not find this topic but if it exists I am sorry to duplicate. I noticed that only one side of my trailer brakes are working, the passenger side. I looked and the passenger side brakes are connected to leads coming out of conduit near the...

Hey all, First off - I am new to the trailer game and recently picked up my first cargo/toy hauler a few weeks ago. It is a 2014 TA haulmark “low hauler.” I have been prepping to go on an upcoming trip since I picked it up a few weeks ago. Mainly getting tires, re caulking the trailer and...

Using a Curt Wireless Brake controller. Trailer is five weeks old. Default settings of 4 and 50% on brake controller worked fine up until a couple days ago. Probably put between 2 and 3000 miles on the trailer. Below 30 mph just touching the brakes causes the tow vehicle and the trailer to...

Anyone know if the brakes are self adjusting or manual? I almost have 3000 miles on mine and wondering if I need to adjust them. Thanks

Recently bought a 2019 Ram 2500 and hooked up my trailer for the first time. I noticed that I had zero lights and electric tongue jack wasn't working. However, I did have trailer brakes. I cleaned out the 7 pin both connector and plug but still no lights. Everything worked 2 weeks ago with...

We bought our first camper from an individual and when asked how to set the proper GAIN he just said somewhere around 6.5 to 7.5. When buying a new camper, I don't recall the dealer mentioning this topic at all. He probably assumed that I knew what I was doing. Now that I'm retired and ready to...

Hi All, I need to replace my brakes and do not know what to buy. My unit is a 2011 Cardinal 3150rl. If you have any info on what I should buy, I would be truly grateful.

Just brought home my prime time Tracer TT. While looking underneath I notice the drivers side brakes were connect on both axles but on the passenger side neither axle had the brakes connected. The wires are just zipped tied to the hub and not connected to anything. Surely this is not normal is...
