brakes

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...

I have been reading that the cougar fifth wheels are coming with antilock brakes. Is this true for their travel trailers as well? We are expecting delivery any day of our cougar 25 MLE.

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 owned a 1994 Winnebago Brave 23RC since 2016 and it has been a very reliable rig but now a question on the brakes. I have replaced the front and rear break discs / shoes, and the master cylinder, but it still takes what I would consider excessive pressure on the brake pedal to stop. I was...

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...

Guys, I’m handy and not too dumb…. However, I’m not good at electrical or troubleshooting. That said, I definitely think I’m not getting trailer brakes. I thought perhaps they weren’t working on the day I bought it and drove it home, but now I’m confident they aren’t working (well...

Hi guys first post here , i am the owner of a new 184bs , 2023 model . I was rerouting the battery cables in under the queen bed to start a bank of lithium batteries . But while pulling the current cables back i managed to pull one of the wires near the junction box from my breakaway switch off...

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...

I need advice on what to do with my brakes. When I removed the drums to service the bearings, I found 2 of the never adjust brakes had malfunctioned. The adjusting levers are not engaging the adjusting wheels. The bottom edge is positioned well below the wheel and does not rise high enough to...

My sil went to move his rv, but the brakes on 3 of the wheels were locked. He left it that night with the rv still plugged into the tow vehicle. The next morning, the battery in the TV was dead. Anyone have this problem and know how to fix it.

Stupid question time - does my coach (2005 Sightseer 30B) have a booster pump for the brakes? Here's the scoop. We were planning on going to the beach for a week. Took the coach to fill the gas tank and the propane tank, went to the local dump station to empty the other tanks and were...

Hello all. I just completed a bearing repack and brake inspection and all looked good. After driving to the storage lot, I checked the temperature of each brake drum and noticed three were at about 100 and one was at 120 degrees. This is the first time I’ve checked the brake temps so I don’t...

Have an Avenger 32bhs with the emergency last resort trailer braking system where if all else fails the small cable attached to the tow vehicle pulls out and the trailer brakes come on and stops it. Frankly I'm not sure what to call it. Anyway, early on we completely misunderstood how to deal...

I'm adding electric brakes to my 14' flat bed trailer, amazon has a kit for $200 Etrailer looks more like $300. My dilemma is the amazon kit is 4.5 stars, I trust Etrailer but they have been deep in my pockets lately. any body know the quality of the wheel bearings?

Hi All, I have a few questions regarding my 1999 International 3800 with the T444E and Allison AT545 with air brakes. I bought the bus with a known leaky rear axle seal. I'm in the process of fixing that and learning a lot. For example, unlike my Ford F350, the bus rear dual tires have two...

Hi, new to the forum. If within specs can your re-surface brake rotors or is it better to replace them? I searched the forum but cannot find any info. Thanks Joe

The front tires on my tandem axel Surveyor lock up OK but the rears do not. I have my brake gain running at 9 on my F150 factory brake activator and I don't seem to get good braking. I have tried running the gain at 10 and find the tires seem to lock up under hard braking. I always feel the...
