I had a problem recently on our initial shakedown trip where the rear axle brakes would not get warm after braking. The front axle drums would get very warm showing they were working. At first I thought the dealer hadn't adjusted the shoes properly and they were not touching the drums. After we got home while installing three fresh water tank vent line valves (to prevent loss of water while traveling), I found the problem with the rear wheels brakes.
Just inside the hole in the belly liner where the 3 water vent lines come through, there are two blue and two black wires spliced. One of the blue wires had pulled out of the splice connector and that was the feed wire to the rear axle brakes. I removed the splices and re-spliced all the wires and taped them. I haven't been able to take the trailer out yet to check it out but am sure all four wheels brakes should work now. I kind of thought the brakes were fairly weak on the trip.
In case you have a loss of brakes you might check the wiring connections. I can provide a wiring diagram if anyone needs more info on the brake wiring at the front and rear axles.
