brakes

It is probably answered somewhere and I am using the wrong search criteria. When a 5th wheel is disconnected from the tow vehicle, do the trailer brakes lock. I have parked on some slanted areas before and always use chocks prior to disconnecting and not brave enough to "test" that theory...

Ok so the other day I went to the place where the RV is stored and had opened up the slides. Then when I went to put the slides back in they became slower and stopped half way, like the battery went dead. So I figured no big deal its been sitting so I hooked the truck up via the 7 pin...still no...

2015 REV RB I see this while guiding the RV as it is backed up and I am at the front. When the brakes are applied, the front passenger side turn signal, lights up solid like the brake light. The turn signals are not turned on. All the lights work correctly except for this. The lights are...

We just purchased a 2014 Georgetown XL 378 with 2900 miles on it. When in park with the engine off, if I depress the brake peddle a buzzer sound of sorts is heard ? When running no sound is heard. We drove it home some 600 miles and the brakes work fine. But it does concern me. Any ideas as to...

Took my 29HFS to dealer to get the ramp door replaced. Towed it around 7k this year. Owned it a year and just wondering if I should have them look at the brakes. Maybe not so much to be replaced but adjusment? Anything else I should have them look at while its there? Thanks

After towing a 2001 Prius on an American Tow Dolly behind our 2006 SunSeeker for 1000 miles, I noticed what I thought was a burnt rubber smell inside of the car. The vents flushed the odor from the cabin after about ten minutes. On the return trip we followed a semi down a long downgrade...

We purchased a 2015 Flagstaff 8528IKWS 5er in September and recently had our first long trip (Charleston SC). I noticed that the brakes didn't seem to have as much stopping power as I am used to. We had another 5er previously and I have other trailers. When I got home I started checking...

We are in mile 2500 of our 4000 mile, 2 week trip from Moss Point Ms to Utah, the Mighty Wildwood is following along obediently, Moab Utah is great, very RV friendly. stopped in Santa Fe and Pagossa springs along the way. The Loretto Chapel Staircase is something Ive always wanted to see...

I recently purchased a 2017 Grey Wolf 26DBH. My braking didn't seem like it should be so i took a look under the trailer and saw that only the left two wheel's brakes are wired but the right side was not. I clearly can see the connections and that it has brakes on the wheels but there's no...

I found the tag on the axel and the informations says. Dexter p-11 SLR 3500lbs D35. I also see a 13.3 on the taq. What does 13.3 mean? Where is a good place to get replacement brakes online? etrailer?

I have a 2012 solaire, bhsk and it seems the brakes squeek a lot when rolling. On the way home from the mountains and stopped overnight. Checked the grease in the bearings before leaving and prior to return home trip. Noise can go away when bake applied. Thoughts??? More noise than I like

I need to replace my electric drum brakes I have a 2016 forest river Salem model 30qbss. Does anyone know what brakes I need to replace it with? Preferably what originally comes installed??

Hey all, Total newbie here, just picked up a new to me 62 passenger 87 Bluebird with the 366 motor, from Oklahoma and I'm making my way back to Virginia. I just posed another thread in the GM section about the little bit of carb trouble I'm having but I'm also stuck as last night the drivers...

I just got my first RV ever. It's a 2010 Octane ZX 26Y. I have a Tekonsha Voyager brake controller that I've adjusted per the owner's manual, and I've adjusted the brakes too. They work, but seem very weak and barely slow down my vehicle when going 20mph. I've checked the voltage to them and...

I just took my 2015 Rapter in for it's first service and heard some bad news. They told me that one of the brake adjusters came apart in the in the drum and cause $1,800 worth of damage. They sent out a guy from the factory and said it was my problem. I have less than 500 miles on it and never...

As a proud owner of a2016 2504s, we have put about 4000 miles on it so far this year. Getting ready to lube the axles for the first time. My question is do I have self adjusting brakes? Is there a way to tell without pulling the drum? I looked through all the paperwork that came with the unit...

we have as 2015 cardinal 5th wheel (16,000 lbs) and we took a long trip last year and towed it about 6,000 miles throughout the northwest. it appears to me that the trailer brakes are not as strong as they used to be, even with the gain to the max. is there any rule of thumb on when they need to...

Just a little fyi. I was going to adjust my brakes on my 285 slr and found out that they come with self adjusting brakes. Wish I would have known that before I got it all jacked up and on jack stands. Live and learn.

WTW, I have a Tacoma and just purchased a FWC Eagle shell. I also just found out I'll be moving to Germany for a 3 (possibly 6) year stay. I'll be shipping the truck and camper to Germany in March. I'm now prepping the truck and have a few questions I hope you all could answer. I’m looking...
