Can a faulty breakaway switch cause problems to the brake controller? My breakaway switch looks like it has seen better days. The plug is very hard to pull out and put in. I am getting an Ol, overload, code on my brake controller handheld unit. The website says it is a grounding problem or a...

We are currently in Okeechobee FL and are considering having disc brakes installed while we are here. How do I contact them to see if they can come to us?

While doing my brake inspection, I found alarming issues. Several caliper bushings need replacement. One bushing is actually gone, causing the caliper to move back and forth (see attached video). The lack of bushing caused the caliper to misalign. The caliper misalignment caused the inner brake...

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?

Hello: 2013 Columbus rs320 I lost my rear running lights. I recovered by providing a ground,to the frame, at the liscence plate lamp and all us good but i want a more permanent fix. Does anyone know where the ground should be for these rear lights?

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...

SO please help me here. We just got our new 2019 Sanibel this summer and now we have come to find out we need rear brakes and rotors. I thought we were rated to tow 13,600lbs with our Dodge Ram 2016 V8 hemi Super duty so why do we need the new brakes/Rotors already? Would towing the new camper...

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...

Please pardon this being a long post/note for the sake of detailed documentation of a critical safety problems. I discovered that I didn't have any trailer brakes (2018 Reflection 28BH) when I reached the bottom of the Salt River Canyon on highway 77 in Arizona and saw that my truck rear brakes...

I would appreciate help with our towing problem from anyone who has experienced it and knows its cause and solution. We tow a 2017 Chevy Malibu behind our 2018 Forest River Forester Class C motor home. We use a Patriot II braking system by Blue Ox in the Malibu. When driving down the...

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...

I've had my TT a little over three years now and have a couple of issues I need input on. FIRST: The right rear tire continues to wear unevenly, outside tread. I've had this looked at by the dealer and they said the bushings were worn out. Replaced them and it is still wearing. Axial doesn't...

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?

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

Hello, I have a '97 1207kb with surge breaks. First trip, pulled into camp and I could see break fluid all over the inside of tire on driver side. I am guessing the tire has been rubbing against the line for a while. I had to have a special line made up. Replaced it and then bleed the brakes by...

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...
