Need Brake Repair Oklahoma - Hi-Lo camper travel trailer forum

MEBradley · 09-19-2011, 10:12 AM

So, had U-Haul take a look at my prodigy brake controller (newly installed) to see why not working., and he says it's my brakes that aren't working - even the breakaway switch doesn't work. Newly purchased 17ft Hi-Lo. Am on my way to Denver going north on IH35 from Texas border heading to Okla City - does anyone know where I can get brake service along IH35 heading in or I-40 heading to Denver? I'm very new to Hi-Lo travel, and know very little about cars -- much less trailers and/or brakes! Can any brake repair place work on them? Thanks for your help...

Trailer brakes for Hilo, are the same as any camper, only the location of fuses will of course vary from MFG to MFG. Did they suggest any RV places? or do you want us to google for RV repairing for you? I know some closer to me, the ones in OKlahoma will be a roll of the dice of course, might check yellow pages for RV repair places.

WHere in OK are you now?

good suggestion about fuse - forgot that's what it could be. But, I'm just looking for reliable brake repair and wondered if Hi-Lo trailer would be easy for anyone to work on. Called Good Sam and they recommended calling Camping World in OKC - so I'm on hold with them right now. Thanks.

If you are going to be on I-40, there is a place in Albuquerque that I have talked to that tell me they will work on Hi-Lo's.

MEBradley,

Thanks for all your help, guys. I was on the road traveling and didn't have wifi until this morning. Price RV Repair in Oklahoma City, OK diagnosed the problem and fixed in a snap. The trailer brakes/and or maybe the whole trailer for all I know -- didn't have a ground wire. They attached one back on the frame by the left rear tire. Pretty easy, really cheap and I was on the road again. They did, however, point out that I needed new tires as sidewalls were failing. So, In Hays Kansas this a.m. at Kansasland Tires - drove into parking lot and, guess what, flat left tire! So, 3 new tires and one great brake controller and I'm on my way again! Thanks again for your responses - you guys are the best!
