After burning in new electric drum brakes do they need to be readjusted again?
I'm having problems getting my brakes to work properly on our new 2670MK (we purchased 02/2023). Frankly they have NEVER worked properly. Now we are out on our first 3 week trip with this trailer and it might not be coming with us! Before we left home I adjusted the brakes after having to replace ALL the drums (long story, please don't ask) and ran through the burn in process. I thought that I did it properly, but now I'm not so sure. When we left home we had adequate braking, but not great braking. I thought as I drove it would improve....how wrong I was. Now after driving 430 miles the trailer has virtually no braking power at all and I've got the gain set to 10.
Before I left home I verified that all of the brakes had power and were being activated when the brakes are pressed. This is not my first trailer, nor is it my time adjusting trailer brakes, but this one has me really stumped. We love the layout of this trailer, but with all of the mechanical issues that we've had with this trailer my opinion of it is very very low. If I can't get this resolved within the next few days I will NOT be taking the trailer home with us and it will be off to the used trailer lot.
