brakes

Salem 27RKSS towed with 2018 Ram 1500. Trailer brakes sometimes work, and sometime don't. I've searched the forum and checked the obvious connections but can't find the problem. Getting the "check trailer brake connection" on the dash. Also, "service trailer brake system"...and lastly...

I have a 2015 Jay Flight SLX 185RB that has been sitting for about a year and a half due to COVID. We are hoping to get it on the road this year so I decided to put new tires on it fearing dry rot. While I had the wheels off I decided to also replace the brakes. I checked the sticker and read...

I have a 2021 Bullet 29’ Bunkhouse pulling with a 2500 Duramax. When I brake it just doesn’t feel like the trailer brakes are engaging like they should. My gain is all the way up to 10 and if I manually engage it I barely feel them pull. My old jayco would have locked the tires up if I was set...

This might be a silly question, but here goes. Is there a way I can replace the back left brake light that is dimmed? Or is this something that I need to take to a RV shop? If this is something I could do myself, how would I know what light to order? Thank you Nancy

Just purchased a FR3 30DS and want to get a tow dolly for my Buick LaCrosse (3700 lbs). Which is best, no brakes, electric, or surge for this weight?

We are going on a long round trip adventure from Florida to Utah this summer towing our 2019 Bullet 243BHS. Over the past 2 years I have upgraded the tires to Goodyear Endurance, added on the CRE300 suspension with greaseable wet bolts, and of course done all the general repairs to keep it up...

I have a 2019 Springdale 38FL with brake problems, as in no brakes. I know it's not a problem with my truck. As I was troubleshooting I traced the problem to the wires in the junction box just below the front of the camper. As I moved the wire bundle the light on the controller went from...

Wolf Pup 16FQ - upon driving from the dealer in March I noticed a rhythmic “catching” of the trailer brakes as I slowed to a stop. It felt like something was out-of-round. I have adjusted the Curt remote brake control sensitivity and max braking adjustments to fairly minimal intensity, but that...

Out of curiousity, I'm wondering how common self-adjusting brakes are. Just doing annual maintenance on my trailer and found out one side wasn't adjusted properly from the prevoius owner, as one side's brake shoes still looked pristine, and the other had less than 1mm left and had nearly siezed...

This is more of a curiosity question,, how many miles do the brake shoes generally last, under normal driving conditions.

Brakes went out in Montgomery Alabama and having problems finding parts. Called Winnebago in Iowa and they sent me to Lichtsinn RV and gave them them all the numbers. Calipers were bought here from Freightliner and the rest shipped from Chicago. Unpacked everything and nothing fits. Sent pics...

Will be picking up 2012 Freedom 1950 for daughter and son-in-law this coming week and need to add electric brakes to it. Does anyone know which parts are good to use and if not, at least what is the bolt pattern, etc. It has 13" wheels. That I do know. I didn't think to get the rest of the...

Bought a 2021 ford f150. Hooked up for the first time to set the intergraded brake controller. Set it all the way to 10 and nothing. Im not getting any error messages in the truck its showing the but not stopping. Anyone having or had the same issue. Had a f150 18' last season never had an issue...

ATTN! Check your electric brake wiring!!. We drove from Raleigh to Surf City (2.5 hrs) Somewhere along the way, there was a message on the dash that said "check trailer connections". We pulled over, and didn't see any problems with the trailer connector. What it was is the brake wiring got...

I would like to test the electric brakes on my RV without connecting to the TV. Background: 2018 Carbon 357 toy hauler and a 2015 Ram 3500 dually. TV has started displaying "Check electronic brake system" message occasionally on 1st start of the day. Message goes away in about 15 seconds. No...

Hi. My next project seems to be needing to know if my emergency brakes work. I know now how to hook up the cable although the length puzzles me a bit. I know it needs to be shorter than the chains but not short enough to get pulled out in a turn. Hmmmm. Anyway, I pulled the pin out a couple...

Any idea what type of brakes are on a 2021 grey wolf? I'm looking for this adjusting wheel described in the manual but can't find it. I'm not getting great brake performance yet but maybe it just need to be broken in more? I have the gain set to 10. I noticed when testing only one of the drums...

My FR3 201933DS has a maintenance schedule of Flush the brake fluid at 2 years. Has anyone done this before and would like to share your advice? I know I need to use e Motorcraft DOT 5.1 Id like to know if I can take this on myself or take it to a service center due to some complex issue.

Last week I made the trip to MorRyde for some upgrades on our Sandpiper. We had them install their independent suspension, disc brake conversion, and pin box. On the initial rode test I immediately noticed how much quieter it was going down the road. There is a noticeable lag when applying...

O was crawling around under my new FE 20SE the other day. Wanted to see what was under there, and also look at and take pictures of the stickers on the Dexter axles. The sticker confirmed I only had 2800# axles under it. The stickers, in addition, had the Product #, Production date, and of...

Just picked up my 2020 Surveyor this week and first WE camping. This is my third TT and have some previous experience with self adjusting brakes (not good) on my Jayco. Question for the forum. As mentioned, this TT is new and was on the dealers lot a while. I expected the brake pads to take...

I have a 2020 Forest River Sun Seeker 2250 SLEF, with Ford V10 and 2700 miles. My brakes make a clacking noise when I put my foot on the pedal before the engine is started. Is that correct? Deborah

2015 Rockwood Windjammer with Dexter Torflex axles. The right rear brake is clanking and braking hard compared to the other three wheels. I am traveling and have no where to get it fixed until Monday. Can i cut the wire to the one wheel and travel 300 miles tomorrow safely? I am in Isleton, CA...

At 50,000 miles, the brake pads / rotors on my GMC 1500 Sierra are going to need to be replaced soon. I have no issues going back with OEM but before buying parts, wanted to reach out to see if any of you have found improvements over the stock TV brake setup by going with a particular...

This group has always been informative. There are a LOT of experienced and a LOT of extremely knowledgeable people on here. Though I’ve been doing this a while, I’m always learning new things.... which leads me to my next question. (Staying in a rest area on our way to the Keys and can’t sleep)...
