brakes

I would like to install a set of disc brakes for our Cardinal 3250RL. Can anyone give their experiences about the brakes' electric over hydraulic interface; such as any failures of the interface/pump: the costs involved in installation; surging after wear on the discs and any other...

We have a 2017 Champagne 5th wheel. Went camping this weekend. On the way there everything fine. Went to leave and no brakes or blinkers but tail lights when lights are on. Backup camera works fine too. Any suggestions?

Hello all, new to the forum and just got this new to me rv. I have a 2019 Salem cruise lite 273qbxl. My family and I took our 3rd camping trip in it this weekend and halfway through the trip I lost my trailer brakes. I still have all lights and turn signals on the camper working. The number...

Looking at new brakes for my 2013 GMC 3500hd Denali Diesel Anyone running the Power Stop Z36 Performance brakes from Advance Auto? I use the truck for towing only...40' fifth wheel at about 15000 pounds.

For those of you who have put disc brakes on your unit, is there an actual Precision Brakes store? We were trying to figure out where we could have disc brakes installed on our fifth wheel that is reasonably near us. ~ Teresa

Hey gang, I have a 2014 Salem 29ud3 travel trailer. I went to adjust the brakes for an upcoming road trip but when I removed the rubber slot covers I can't find the adjustment wheel. I then went to another wheel before I took the hubs off to inspect and it was the same set up, as in no adjusting...

For starters, here is the information on my 5th wheel. Rockwood Signature Ultralite 8288ws. The axles are an AL-KO U-40. (see 1st pic) The beginning of this season I noticed that a higher setting on my controller was needed to have sufficient brakes applied when stopping. Then, on the last...

I have a 2015 Rockwood Signature Ultra-lite. Checking my wheels bearings I decided to check on my brakes. Well, they are pretty bad. Any suggestions? Replace it with the same type? Upgrade? Any advice? Thanks

Anybody have any problems removing their brake drums off their popup wheels. I can't seem to get mine to budge. i am getting, i think a little brake shoe drag. (which i think i can adjust by going through the backside and turn the star adjuster) but i would like to get the drums off to inspect...

I just bought a new '18 Ram 2500 with the factory Integrated Trailer Brake Controller. I am trying to set up the trailer brake gain on my travel trailer and I am unable to select "heavy electric" through the steering wheel switches. I pull up the towing menu on the dash display and it defaults...

Was checking underneath for road damage and spotted a wire hanging. Where 3 wires are joined into some sort of connector, one was pulled out. I can not figure out how to open this connector to see how the wires are mated. Anybody ever opened one of these ??? Thanks Larry

Had a warranty on one of my brakes, called Dexter spoke to Denise in warranty dept. she said fill out warranty form send picture. And they will send the part. No questions asked I received the part, replaced the brake assembly myself. Thanks Dexter that is what you call customer service.

So, tomorrow I pick up my new (to me) 1983 16 foot funlite. Looking at the original specs from the brochure, I see that it originally came with B-78-13 STC tires which are now a 175/80-13. The dry weight is 2K Lbs (can't find the GVW anywhere). The previous owner (or the one prior to him) has...

OK, a new problem has arisen. All brake lights on my Toad, 2006 jeep liberty 4x4, work with the jeep key turned on. But none work with key turned off. Toad brakes work when RV brakes applied but no dash indicator light to tell me they're working, and no brake lights on toad unless key is turned...

I bought my Rockwood 2906ws July 2017 I was having intermittent brake problems sometimes I would have brakes sometimes I would not have brakes very dangerous took the RV in for some warranty work told them about the brakes they said it was the controller then they swore up and down it was the...

Ok, it's time to ask for help. Our 2015 Rockwood 2604WS had been experiencing the lack of brakes. The first problem from day one was the total lack of trailer brakes that was traced to a broken ground stud in one of the frame junction boxes. That restored braking effort as indicated by...

So I'm going into season 4 with my 3011 RV. Since I just changed my toad I began to wonder how long the front/rear brakes on the RV will last? I've got almost 16K on the RV and almost all of it has been driven while towing a car. I would think that towing a vehicle will wear the brakes faster...

It would appears as if my Dexter brakes on my Rockwood Fifth-wheel failed. I had new ones installed ($2400!!!) and the technician told me that they would self adjust overtime as the finish wears off. I am a little concerned because I am going on a long trip...Is this true??

So after driving off from my RV dealer where I purchased the unit with TOAD in tow, my wife (who was driving her car behind me) calls me and says the brake lights are lit up on our CRV (as I'm traveling along.) I have gone about two blocks then hop out at a light to discover that the brake...

Motorhome Magazine had an interesting article on air brakes from the June issue. I learned a fair amount since this is only my 2nd vehicle with air brakes. It did lead to a few questions. 1. It recommends replacing the air dryer filter per the RV’s maintenance schedule, any idea when that is...

I have read some topics regarding this but my tt still not functioning... I adjusted the brakes manually and then I set my tekonsha controller at 6.0 as stated on the manual but even when I'm going 10mph and apply the manual override on the controller I feel they work but won't stop...

Hello all, I getting ready to go from permanently parked in my fiver to full time RVing. I've been do a lot of research and seeing that a fiver doesn't sway (i'm sure it does to an extent) it's the travel trailers that could have a lot of sway depending on conditions. I'm looking at a kit, link...

I am going to get my 2012 Cherokee grey wolf 28bhks inspected, getting the bearings, electric brakes and tires replaced on may 3rd. I was wondering, how long do new bearings, electric brakes, and tires will last, if I am only going to use the trailer about 4 or 5 times this season? alucke

The display on my 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500hd displays the message check trailer wiring. I can clear the message buy pushing the check button on the steering wheel or unplugging the seven pin connector. I have cleaned and inspected the seven pin connector on the Rv and truck. I also inspected...

I decided to pull the wheels and inspect my brakes instead of just greasing the wheel bearings with the easy lube zerk fitting. Glad I did, here is what was inside one of the brake drums. Could have been real bad if the sheared off bolt had jammed and caused the wheel to lock up.
