    Question for those with disc brakes on their trailer

    Has any of you had a leaking axle/grease seal while running disc brakes? How bad do the pads get hit? Looking at the Kodiak rotors/hubs, it looks like the braking surface might be hollow with channels that MAY allow the majority of grease to drip off without getting too much on the braking...

    Can't figure out what's going on with my trailer's power

    My trailer is plugged into 30 amp shore power and has been working fine. However, about 2 weeks ago, I came home to absolutely no power. My surge protector on the shore power was still reading fine. Power cord seems fine. No breakers tripped, no fuses blown. I reset the breakers 4 times over the...

    Intermittent trailer lamp fault -- should I be worried?

    Every, I don't know, maybe 10th time I hook up the trailer, I get a trailer lamp fault. Sometimes it's the right side and sometimes it's the left side. I unplug the electrical connection and hook it back up and it's fine. It's not getting any worse. I'm just wondering if I should be worried...

    Trailer brake gain (OR: I almost killed a man yesterday)

    After reading through responses to one of my posts, and reading through some other posts, I realized that my trailer gain was set way too high. It was set at 9.5 when I got it, and while I had read some tests to do to know if that was correct, they all seemed to involve a level of "feel" that I...

    Destination Trailer as Regular Trailer

    Hey all. I know the previous thinking was that destination trailers are not good for thousands of miles of travel or campsite to campsite. They just don’t hold up. We have 10 kids so we were looking for something bigger. Puma has a new line that is only 3’ longer than thier bunkhouse...

    Are trailer tires balanced?

    Now that I know the tire shop may have gave me the wrong advice on the air pressure, are trailer tires balanced usually? How did these trailers come from the factory? The tire shop said they don’t usually balance trailer tires. I see online that some websites agree with that.
