brakes

Hello from wet and wonderful Washington! We are downsizing from a house into our Precept. Any words of wisdom are welcome! We are having the seals evaluated and trying to determine how to upgrade our wipers (they don’t handle driving speeds at all) and deal with a hand-me-down passenger side...

I found a thread from 2013 that did not answer my question. My electric driveshaft/parking brakes locked up as I was leaving a campground. Fortunately, I was driving slowly. The only way we could move it was to disconnect the linkage to the driveshaft brake. The 'brake' light started...

I recently bought a 2006 183 rockwood roo. I believe it has brakes but I think its manual? There is a metal wire with a looped end that hangs out in front. The private seller never mentioned it to me. Do i need this to work to tow it or am I fine just ignoring it? And where can I get info on how...

Towed a u haul trailer this weekend ,auto transport, and it had surge brakes. Has there ever been a RV builder that put this system on their product. The bump you feel as you pull forward after a stop is noticeable. Of course I had this bump feeling just repaired on my GMC 2500, the...

One more trip maybe two then the trailer sits for the winter. Need to change the brakes. Last time I adjusted them they were not activating evenly. Anyway considering the automatic adjusting set up. Anyone have real world experience with self adjusters.

HELP! MY 2015 Legacy brakes on pass side rear started smoking suddenly, pulled off highway and wheel locked. I pulled the pin on self adjusting slack adjuster and break arm, was able to release brakes and slowly get back home.once home noticed driverside was very hot also. I pulled rear wheels...

Hi Everyone, I was curious about using my Toyota's trailer brakes. We have one of those little plus/minus switches (between 1 and 10 settings) in our Sequoia (like a Tundra brake-wise) that allows us to control the trailer brakes. I read somewhere someone saying it could be used to stop an...

Looking for some input from the community.... After buying a neat bus from a great couple the drive home was frightening to say the least! They really had no idea how bad things had gotten, you get accustomed to things as they wear out and maybe don't realize how bad they are. Being a mechanic...

I have 35K miles and need new tires. I am curious how long brakes last with mostly highway miles. I have quite a lot of play in the brake pedal. I assume my 2016 has drum brakes front and rear. Anyone have experience with replacing or adjusting Sprinter brakes?

I have been fighting this battle for months. All of a sudden my Prodigy II brake controller shows a short (SH). This is what we've done; my tech has 20 years of experience running one of the largest repair facilities in N.C. 1. Replaced the emergency brake-away swith 2. Replaced the Prodigy II...

Hi! New to posting so if I am missing anything please let me know! I have a 2007 IC CE300 hydraulic brakes bus that has a parking brake problem... For a while now, we had problems disengaging it but we would go underneath, bang it a couple times and it would disengage. Now it seems we...

Just wondering if anyone can tell me if 2022 E450 is plug and play for brake controller? Looks like the plug is behind change compartment in dash. Anyone had experience installing one themselves. If so can you tell me model numbers?

Wow! We were very fortunate and I have never had a blown brake line ever. We were driving off our leveling ramps and tapped the brakes to stop. Foot went to the floor and red idiot light came on the dashboard. Checked master cylinder and no brake fluid. I didnt see any leaks. Local truck...

Was in the Top of the World Highway and hit a really nasty pothole hard. Two things happened. My Furrion rear camera is sending out a weak signal and the monitor isn’t receiving a signal u less the truck is parked behind the camper. The second and more important. The trailer brakes are...

I'll be picking up a 2025 Apex Nano 194BHS in the next month or so and was wondering if anyone has changed out the 194's drum brakes for disk? I've looked around and haven't been able to find a kit.

I have read a number of post about switching to disk brakes. We are definitely planning to do this, hopefully next month. My questions are: Who did you use and why? If they came to you, how can you be certain (that contractor) will do great work vs taking the rig to their site? Thanks for...

Folks, oddly my jayco travel trailer has the brake lights, tail lights, and side lights illuminated full time despite not plugged into the car. It doesn’t matter if it’s plugged in to external power or not. We did notice that the chord that you plug into the back of the SUV from the trailer to...

I have a 2017 Columbus F377MB and I am thinking about upgrading the brakes to disc brakes. I am looking for all recommendations good, bad, and ugly. Thanks, Randy

Can I upgrade my 2024 Cougar 25MLE to disc brakes without losing my ABS?

Here it goes again the list of failures goes on now no brakes on the Micro they make a banging noise a don’t grab. Great going down a hill in NJ and just about stopped. Now this unit is BRAND NEW. Now how can I get this fixed the dealer is 75 miles away. I have 23 Ford Ranger can I tow this...

2019 25BHS Cabin Cruiser - anyone else have Brake wiring issues? we recently had a blowout(2 actually on the same wheel location original then spare)...when getting repair to damage on underside of the trailer I had the bearings and brakes checked/serviced. the RV repair informed me that the...

It's been a while, but we're back and trying to get ready for camping season finally. I've got a break in the weather in Southeastern PA (finally) and I'd like to take some time to look at why our brakes have an intermittent short. I'm 99% sure that somewhere, somehow there's slack wire that...

Looked around the forum and didn't see anything specific to my situation. Grabby brakes, yes using the Curt Echo controller (& OneControlAuto App) but my situation is this: The brakes grab hard and with a slight delay every time... even at the lowest settings. AND, more importantly, they...

I'm having a new issue with my trailer brakes. This will be the third season with this truck and trailer combination, but the problem has just started this year. When I apply the truck brake, the trailer brakes suddenly and abruptly grab (jolting the entire rig) and release, then do it again...

So I used to think I was a little anal for checking lights and hitting the lever on the brake controller to check the brakes after hitching up, but it turns out that's not such a bad thing. Pulled out of my driveway to go on our first camping trip of the season, hit the lever, and... Nothing...
