3 out of 4 of our trailer brakes were not working
luckily we found out before it was too late. One of my worst nightmares Brakes not working while towing 15,000 pounds down a highway!

We were able to make it to our next campground. The wires on 3 out of 4 of the camper brakes were detached or broken? We fixed it at the campground, but knew we wanted all new brakes after all, we have driven from Florida to Canada and back 3 years AND over to Colorado and back to Florida that's a lot of miles with a full load (we weigh at Cat Scales regularly).

We also found out we had 3 selfadjusting trailer brakes and 1 manual adjusting brake on our fifth wheel? We bought it used dealer forgot to mention this

Does your RV have manual adjusting or self adjusting electric brakes. You need to know. How often do you test your brakes?

In this video, I show how to tell the difference between selfadjusting trailer brakes and manual and how to adjust both. In a future video, I will show how replace the brakes and bearings.

We are a married couple in our mid 50s who downsized and sold our house so we can see the sights and enjoy every day to live deliberately as full time RVers traveling with our dog Scruffy, in our Grand Design Solitude 310 GK fifth wheel.
