All four trailer brakes make a barely audible ticking, tapping not quite knocking noise. When connected to tow vehicle and the engine is running or the lites are on. No, it is not the normal brake activation noise. That is more like a electronic solenoid noise. I am familiar with that noise...

Hi guys from the UK. I have a Rockwood 2606 over here which is super rare and I need a little help with the wiring for the electric brakes on the trailer. Two wires come from the brakes a blue and a white. Im assuming the white is nuteral/ground and the blue is the positive.? Where at the...

Installed new axle on Brookstone today. Need to wire brakes too Brookstone. Is it correct that the two wires can be reversed because the brake magnet does not have polarity? IOW, either brake wire can go to either trailer wire. Is that correct?

Was wondering how often and when you need to adjust the electric brakes on a travel trailer?

Hey all, We are new to the RV life this year but so far, we love it. My truck does not have any auxillary brakes for a trailer. So, do the brakes on the trailer even work or do I need to do something special on my truck to have them be functional?

Here's what I reported to RV service mgr:"One more concern. Before ya'll pack my wheel bearings, the trailer brakes were working one way. Before a trip I would go 25 mph and squeeze the Ford internal brake controller. The trailer tires would lock up, smoke, squeal and a little smoke sometimes...

There are 2 green wires going into the brake drums on my Rpod 189.On the drivers side brake drum both wires are connected. On the passenger side only 1 of the green wires are connected. It looks like the other green wire was never connected? I am concerned and I wonder if this is correct.

Good Evening Everyone! Encountered a trailer brakes issue recently with our 2015 Coachmen Catalina 273TBS. The brakes worked fine since new until a few months ago. No matter what gain setting I use or even when I mash the panic lever, the trailer brakes only apply slightly. I thought maybe they...

I did a search, but could not find any posts on the subject. I've noticed that the TT's with tandem axles that we've looked at only come with brakes on one axle. Is there any benefit to adding brakes to the second axle? I figured since the hub assemblies and backing plates were fairly...

My electric brakes are not working.:crying: When I put the electrical tester on my 7 pin tow vehicle, I get 2 lights which are the left and right turn/brake lights. I was assuming that a third light might light up indicating a signal to activate the brakes. My vehicle brake unit also lights...

I had a thread running on my brakes being weak. I've been busy but I'm back to working on them today. My question is, is it normal that in order for the brakes to work semi correctly do they have to be adjusted to where you can barely rotate the wheel with absolutely no free spin. I can rotate...
