Been complaining of poor braking since way back. 2012 35' Cyclone with about 11,000 miles. Finally decided to replace brake assemblies on one axle to see what would happen. Bought brake assemblies and drums from Redneck Trailers, Lincolnton, NC $488. That was a mess with wrong parts. Then decided to change out the 2nd axle. Bought from etrailer.com $377. Yeah, that's no typo!!
MOST IMPORTANTLY! I found that the right side DID NOT have self-adjusters. Left - yes. Right - no. When I removed the right side drums the star adjusters fell on the ground and were all worn from rubbing. Dave at Dexter had been great before but lawyered up when I told him what I found. So, I've got nearly $900 and a ton of driving and work into a manufacturer's problem.
Finally got into all this as I'm prepping for a 2 month trip. More issues in other posts. Particularly how my water tanks have sagged and the lightweight cross supports.
