brakes

I recently bought a 2006 183 rockwood roo. I believe it has brakes but I think its manual? There is a metal wire with a looped end that hangs out in front. The private seller never mentioned it to me. Do i need this to work to tow it or am I fine just ignoring it? And where can I get info on how...

Towed a u haul trailer this weekend ,auto transport, and it had surge brakes. Has there ever been a RV builder that put this system on their product. The bump you feel as you pull forward after a stop is noticeable. Of course I had this bump feeling just repaired on my GMC 2500, the...

One more trip maybe two then the trailer sits for the winter. Need to change the brakes. Last time I adjusted them they were not activating evenly. Anyway considering the automatic adjusting set up. Anyone have real world experience with self adjusters.

HELP! MY 2015 Legacy brakes on pass side rear started smoking suddenly, pulled off highway and wheel locked. I pulled the pin on self adjusting slack adjuster and break arm, was able to release brakes and slowly get back home.once home noticed driverside was very hot also. I pulled rear wheels...

Hi Everyone, I was curious about using my Toyota's trailer brakes. We have one of those little plus/minus switches (between 1 and 10 settings) in our Sequoia (like a Tundra brake-wise) that allows us to control the trailer brakes. I read somewhere someone saying it could be used to stop an...

I have 35K miles and need new tires. I am curious how long brakes last with mostly highway miles. I have quite a lot of play in the brake pedal. I assume my 2016 has drum brakes front and rear. Anyone have experience with replacing or adjusting Sprinter brakes?

Just wondering if anyone can tell me if 2022 E450 is plug and play for brake controller? Looks like the plug is behind change compartment in dash. Anyone had experience installing one themselves. If so can you tell me model numbers?

I'll be picking up a 2025 Apex Nano 194BHS in the next month or so and was wondering if anyone has changed out the 194's drum brakes for disk? I've looked around and haven't been able to find a kit.

I have a 2017 Columbus F377MB and I am thinking about upgrading the brakes to disc brakes. I am looking for all recommendations good, bad, and ugly. Thanks, Randy

2019 25BHS Cabin Cruiser - anyone else have Brake wiring issues? we recently had a blowout(2 actually on the same wheel location original then spare)...when getting repair to damage on underside of the trailer I had the bearings and brakes checked/serviced. the RV repair informed me that the...

It's been a while, but we're back and trying to get ready for camping season finally. I've got a break in the weather in Southeastern PA (finally) and I'd like to take some time to look at why our brakes have an intermittent short. I'm 99% sure that somewhere, somehow there's slack wire that...

Looked around the forum and didn't see anything specific to my situation. Grabby brakes, yes using the Curt Echo controller (& OneControlAuto App) but my situation is this: The brakes grab hard and with a slight delay every time... even at the lowest settings. AND, more importantly, they...

So I used to think I was a little anal for checking lights and hitting the lever on the brake controller to check the brakes after hitching up, but it turns out that's not such a bad thing. Pulled out of my driveway to go on our first camping trip of the season, hit the lever, and... Nothing...

Good morning. I have a brand new 2024 Chevrolet 2500 Duramax diesel and a brand new Cedar Creek experience 2024, 35 foot fifth wheel. Every time I hook the trailer to the truck the trailer brakes disconnect. The RV dealership says nothing is wrong with the trailer. And of course Chevrolet says...

I know this is general with many variables; however, as a full-timer I'm trying to plan ahead. I have a 2020 3011DS with 13k miles and am putting 10K a year on it towing a 4000 pound Jeep. The brakes are in good condition and do their job, but I am wanting significantly better braking power...

Just was curious where every gets there brakes , drums and wheel bearings from ? I have a 2018 xlr boost 31 qb , do you get better deals from online stores or dealers ?

I have a 2018 31L5 coach. Just wondering if anyone has had to have these items replaced what they had to pay for it. I was quoted $4539. Is this a reasonable price? Thanks Bob

I have a 2019 Surveyor 19BHLE. I just arrived in Phoenix after a trip from the Midwest. I noticed when I left last night’s campground this morning, there was a noise (not really a squeak or squeal) from one of both of the trailer brakes the first time I stepped on the brake pedal (at the...

Hi all. Looks like we're about to pull the trigger on a new 1640LTD. Apparently it comes with electronic brakes. We need to set my wife's car up for towing...2019 Ford Escape Titanium rated at 3500 lb. I'm not exactly sure how the brakes operate...do we need to install a brake controller or...

Has anyone used this system on their Trailer? I am in the process of inspecting my current drum brakes on my toy hauler and so far I need to replace at least one drum and one magnet. I have 6K Dexter axles with never adjust brakes under it. My choices are replace the brakes with same or go...

Dexter brakes seem to be the go to however is that because of brand name trust or actually a better brake than the competitors? Is there a less expensive alternative that is equal to them? I have 6K axles however the 7K brakes are the same size. Are the 7k brakes any better than the 6K brakes...

Does anyone know what kind of brakes and drums I have? I need both, but the dealership wants to charge me over $2200 to do it. Sounds ridiculous when my mechanic will do it for $200. Anyone know what the brand/specs are?

Hello all. We have a 2021 Flagstaff MAC 176LTD and I’m having a hard time finding out if I can get electric brakes installed. I’m getting a new vehicle, but not something big and a few that I’ve looked at can haul my small pop up but towing capacity goes up a good bitch if I have brakes on the...

Back in September I bought a used 2022 524BBS 5th wheel from a large local dealer here in DFW. I was prepping it for it's first trip since bringing to home from the dealership. After hooking up I decided to tow it into town, get fuel, propane & generally just a test run. I had noticed it took a...

My question is does anyone know if the 2018 XLR Boost 31QB has brakes on all 4 wheels ? The reason why I am asking is i just got an estimate from the place that sold me my camper for 1070 dollars to have my 4 drums replaced and seals , the estimate does'nt include brakes or bearings . Does 1070...
