brakes

Taking delivery in a few weeks (again - Hopefully!) and was just curious if there are brakes on both axles. Thanks in advance.

So, I picked up our new DX3 earlier this week and love it, although I’ve only driven it 80 miles before parking it in my shop. During the walk-thru, the service tech explained some steps required to drain the air tank used for the air brakes and advised that I do this every time I park the rig...

I just ordered this trailer and am trying to learn as much as possible and make sure my truck is ready to tow it. I seem to remember reading that this model came with electric brakes standard. Does anyone know if this is for sure the case? SRR

We have a Sprinter and want to tow a 4,200 lb. Jeep. Any positive or negative experiences with NSA Ready Brute tow bars or the Ready Brake which is a mechanical surge brake system operating the brakes on the towed vehicle?

Has anyone else been experiencing the random service electronic brakes message? I'm on a 2018 chassis, it started a couple months back. One trip it won't show at all then on my way home last month it was almost consistent. renders the cruise control inoperative which is the biggest pain...

Had a problem with brakes being grease contaminated on my 2017 FR Vibe 251RKS. Apparently all four brakes were grease contaminated (according to my dealer). The dealer quoted over $1300 to replace all of the brake assemblies!!! I purchased all four Lippert replacement assemblies for just...

I have a NoBo 16.8 with Dexter brakes that I picked up in Elkhart in the winter. I tried the brakes on snow packed streets and couldn't get them to skid even with my Prodigy P2 on maximum power. I went to a trailer brake shop and after checking it out they told me that electric brakes just...

Hi, all - I just wanted to throw this question out to the group to see if anyone has insights to offer on a strange issue I'm seeing. The story starts with pulling out of a rough parking lot, which unknown to me pulled the breakaway switch cable out of the switch, tripping the trailer brakes...

The electric brake that Camping World installed hooks up to the Highlander with a Hopkins brake plug-in. The cover to the Hopkins plug-in broke and I had Hopkins Mfg. send me a new one. They did not explain how the spring attaches to the cover, so I left it off. I guess without the spring...

I have a crazy idea that I hope works...but I have my doubts. All legal-ness aside, I am hoping to be able to pull two trailers with my '17 F350. They are both bumper pulls. This will only be done when we move again (.mil family). Trailer #1 is an 18ft car hauler and will weigh somewhere...

My brakes were not working well The seals were blown and covered with grease. I scrubbed them and the drums with brake clean but no good so I replaced them. Magnets and all. They still dont work well. I can crank up the brake controller and I hardly feel them pull at all. Pic is of the old...

Hey all, looking for some input or assistance if possible. This is my first trailer but not new to general vehicle maintenance. RIG: New 2021 Apex Nano 208bhs bought in July, using the Curt Echo wireless brake controller on a 2017 Durango RT AWD. Eaz lift WDH BACKGROUND: Since first bought...

We recently took our 2020 Momentum 351M in for a checkup before our first year warranty was up. We had a few things that needed fixing. We also had our dealer - General RV of Draper Utah check our brakes as they seamed to not be working as they should. When the technician pulled the brake...

We bought a new 2020 Rockwood Signature 8329SB this February. We haven’t camped much this year and have less than 1500 miles towing. I noticed from the time we took delivery the brakes weren’t quite where they should be. I thought the Dexter Never Adjust brake system would work itself in, it’s...

We just purchased a 2017 Sonoma Trailer. The trailer is like "new" and has been camped in about 8 times, according to previous owners. Heard a noise in back tire so took it to Les Schwab. One of the springs, in the tire where the brakes are, had broke off and was causing the noise. Les...

Last week I purchased a 2011 Jensen 18' enclosed tandem axle trailer from a local auction house. They said the hubs and brakes were replaced, which they appear to have been. However, as i pulled away from the lot I squeezed the break controller that's build into my truck and got zero response...

Hello all, Two things; My 2015 8528IKWS is due for a brake job. That is not a problem but I am wondering, has anyone ever upgraded the brakes from 10"to 11" drums? If so were you able to do it without replacing the 5 lug wheels w 6 or 8 lug wheels? Also, I am fed up with carpet in my camper. I...

Due to being in a temporary location without tools, etc. I had a local RV place service my axles. They replaced everything... hubs, bearings, brake assembly. Towed the trailer back and decided to readjust my controller to be sure I had it set properly for the new setup. Well, now I have very...

I have a 2017 3150 and I get an intermittent check brake wiring on dash and when it does that there are no brakes. Has anyone had this problem and what might cause it. Thanks, Don

Last two trips I've noticed my trailer brakes squeaking as I stop. As the vehicle slows and comes to a complete stop the trailer brakes grab hard and bring everything to a stop. I've dialed back on the brake controller and it helps some, but after a handful of stops the brakes start grabbing...

I recently purchased my first nice travel trailer...a 2018 wildwood x-lite. My question for the group, being a newbie, when I unhooked my camper in my driveway..I lowered the hitch arm and popped the emergency brake cable because I had I laying over the sway bar. I pushed the plastic pin back...

2017 VIBE 251RKS Pulling fine forward on the highway but when I get to the RV site and begin backing up the brakes on one side only lock up. I have to disconnect the electrical plug to get backed into a site. This only affecting the left side of the trailer. It has done it intermittently on...

My grand son pulled the emergency brake cable without telling me while 'helping' me hook up to hit the road. We didn't find out until we were several miles down the road. I have my RV service center looking for brakes, but they just order from an RV parts catalog, and there is a long delay for...

I can’t get my brakes to re activate. My emergency brake cable pulled out of the switch box accidentally. The cable must have been too loose. We were slowly making a turn so we just stopped suddenly. No big deal. I went and reinstalled the plastic plug but now the trailer brakes don’t work...

Hi! have a question - Have a new (may) 2020 geopro 19FBS, with about 1,500 total miles (5 trips so far). am going from oregon to montana and back in two weeks. Should I have my local brake/wheel shop (Les Schwab) inspect trailer brakes, wheels, grease, etc. prior to trip? Have read here...
