brakes

Why I didn't know sooner.....I recently replaced all four tires on the Vibe and upon doing so I saw that the trailer brakes were only on left/ drivers side of trailer. Both axles but only one side. Normal or screw up from factory??? I've owned it new from dealer since Feb 2015. Never thought to...

I have a 2015 GT 351DS with about 15K miles on it and the brakes are squeaking. Anyone else have this issue. Just curious if I need to be concerned & take it in? With only 15k miles I wouldn’t think the brakes need replacing???

Hi, folks, Thought I would install an electronic trailer brake controller in our 2018 Forest River Georgetown (30X3)(Ford Chassis). I looked under the dash where the plug was supposed to be and only found a small bundle of 4 or 5 wires that were taped up on the end. Think maybe these are the...

I picked up my new TT last Tuesday and while pulling out of the sales lot, I did not notice the tug on my TV I thought I should feel when the trailer brakes operate. I pulled off safely onto a side road and operated the manual lever and felt a very slight brake drag..even at the most aggressive...

I have this 2005 23’-9” Flagstaff forest river and the last time I used it, I had and issue with my Tow vehicle brakes. Theses brakes on my camper saved my a**. So I need to know what kind of brakes do I replace these with?

From your experience how long do the brake pads last in a 5th wheel,I KNOW ITS BASED ON HOW YOU DRIVE,i know its based on how heavy a load,IM looking for approxament how many miles do the brakes last.YES I WILL INSPECT AND YES I DO CHECK THE AND RE PACK THE BEARINGS.

We bought a 2019 FR Salem FSX 260RT in September 2018 and due to work and holiday obligations we are just now getting ready to make our first trip! While looking under the trailer at the tie down anchor hardware and studying my method of upgrade, I noticed the trailer brakes on the passenger...

This spring, I plan a long trip from Texas to Kentucky. My TT has not been used since last May. It sits in my driveway for storage. Before I leave for my trip, is there a way that I can check my TT brakes to insure that they are not rusted or sticking. My driveway is on a slight incline...

Hi again folks. I have attached the instructions from my 2019 Ram 1500 manual regarding setting up the trailer braking. I have a FR Vibe 251RKS TT. It says that with some trailers you may not be able to get the brakes to lock up when testing for setup. That was the case for me. Even with the...

Hi folks. My 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 towing package wants me to specify what kind of trailer brakes I have in the settings. I have a Forest River Vibe 251RKS. Can anyone help me with this. I can't seem to find that info anywhere. Are they electric or air or electric over hydraulic? Thanks for any...

We have a 2016 Cedar Creek 34RL. GVWR on our unit is 16,000 lbs. CAT scale shows we are at 14,800 when we travel. We added Kodiak disc brakes with new bearings in May 2017. After putting 6000 miles on the trailer in 2017, when doing maintenance (inspecting and repacking bearings) it...

43K on my Frontier with a Fleet, the stock brakes were good, I only wanted more braking power a few times. We travel lots of gravel, have been through the Rockies a few times and plan to continue the same. With that said, it is time to replace front brakes, and with some research my head is...

Hello all, 2018 Wildcat travel trailer with about 3000 miles on it, when I slow down and use brakes it really feels like something on the trailer is warped terribly, especially as you come to a stop, I took it into the dealer, they looked it over said 2 brakes were out of adjustment, I test...

It is time to have my wheel bearings and brakes serviced on my Wolfpup trailer. No where can I find where I can take it besides a dealer. I am not doing it myself. There is tons of information about how to do it myself but nothing on what type of establishment I can take it to. So I take it to a...

Moving trailer noticed rear brakes on tandem axles were locked, "check trailer brakes" message in truck. After a couple minutes I realized I had pulled the pin on emergency brake module. Put it back in and brakes released. Now the factory brake controller in truck does not "see" any brakes (no...

I just put my 2018 Salem away in covered storage for the Winter. Starting to think about maintenance work that needs to be done in the Spring. I hauled it about 6500 miles this past Summer, how often do you need to repack the bearings and change the brake pads? Is this something you can do...

I've never had good brake performance since purchasing this unit used in 2016. I rebuilt axles with new bearings, seals, and brake backing plates from eTrailer for 12" 8 lug drums. Did not buy new drums, just had the shoe surface turned. Wondering if not refacing the magnet surface might be...

I have 2019 sig ultra. My gain is at max on my f150 and they brakes work but they don’t seem to be 100%. Just foot off the brake and Manual home on controls everything still rolls at semi flat surface. I can hear atleast 1 brake engaging. Any ideas

2019 Wildcat Max 30' 5er. Brakes SUCK! I measured 3.5 volts to the magnet with the brake pedal to the floor, shouldn't this be much higher? I have not checked the voltage at the 7 way connector nor did I pull the breakaway. Question is am i testing it correctly. Truck is 2013 Duramax with...

Have my Georgetown in for the annual safety inspection as I write this. The shop called and told me I need new rear brakes, just under 26K miles. I do tow my wife's car on a dolly. Shop foreman told me the right caliber was hung up and I was "metal on metal". Question, does $1000 for a rear...

I travel to KY and TN a lot which means we're in the mountains/hills quite a bit. Of course, we're also pulling an enclosed trailer which adds even more weight going down hills. Point is, I use my air brakes as much as possible so I don't wear out my brake pads. Anyway, I find it extremely...

Ok new post. My question is how effective are trailer brakes? My WD296 has 4 electric brakes. Assuming all are working and drag adjustment properly how much extra weight should the tow vehicle be stoping? I know 0% in a perfect world. But what should the expectation be? I ask because of the very...

I have a fifth wheel with the 8,000 lb Dexter Axle with the Nev-R-Adjust brakes. The maintenance schedule says to inspect for brake wear every 6,000 miles. I have 5,000 miles on mine and am leaving next week for a cross country trip probably 6,000 miles plus. 6,000 miles seems too frequent to...

Leveled my class c Forester today, which lifts front tires off the ground an inch or so. The Jack's will not deploy unless emergency brakes are on. Good idea. The problem here is , , , with the emergency brake pressed all the way down, the front wheels still spin freely. What's up with that?
