Well....I just got done working on them but they're all buttoned up. I think the the ones on my 2670mk look like this.....

You called GD customer service or the dealership? I am going to dig into this further.Buckaroo

I called GD customer service, but they could very well be wrong. It looks like in the second link there is a diagonal piece or link in the brakes. I haven't messed with mine yet because it's new, but will most likely check them if they don't end up being self adjusting. I will call Dexter this week to confirm. For the price and GD quality that they preach, they should come with self adjusting brakes.

The 2017/18 2670MK's all had Lippert axels/components. Later years they changed to Dexter. The self adjusting brakes were part of the updates to the 2018 models that started coming off the line in April of 2017. Mine literally was the last Lippert 2670MK without self adjusting. I still have the email from the Dealer that promised mine would be one of the first with SA brakes! Sadly, it wasn't... But I can't say what happened in later years when they switched to Dexter.

I talked to Grand Design Customer Service and they said they should be self adjusting. I am going to get the numbers off the axle and call Dexter. If I have to, I will pull the brake drum again and snap a pic - should have done that when I had them apart originally.

You can definitely do it one wheel at a time....so you don't need to jack it up to get both wheels clear. You don't even have to remove the tire. You can do it with a flat blade screwdriver - you don't need a special tool. IMHO, you shouldn't depend on the self adjusting thing anyway. Any corrosion/resistance and guess what....it doesn't adjust. So you need to manually adjust it anyway.
This is a good video on how you do it.....straightforward.

Something is not tracking. GD said you should have them. Dexter says not. Time to call GD again, with your VIN and the serial # off the axels. Or probably pull a wheel and look, first. While in my case, I was irritated that the dealer promised I would get them, nothing was in writing, and at the time of the order they were shipping with manual brakes. So no real reason for a complaint. But if they are supposed to be there, and aren't.....
On the Lippert version, the upgrade was not that expensive, and easy to do, if you are handy with doing any kind of work on the wheels at all. Probably same for Dexter, but why DIY if you can have GD fix what appears to be a mistake.2017 Imagine 2670MK
