Golden, bearII,
Thanks for the input. I'll add those to my list for my next visit to the camper.
I do have a question, is the brake adjustment for a rig like this similar to that of a drum brake on a truck?
I do > 80% of my vehicle maintenance, so I'm not shy of working on the brakes, just want to educate myself prior to the drive to it.
When I replaced the tires a few years ago, I did verify that the brakes did engage, however, was really only a go/no-go test. I was alone, and while reinstalling the wheel, I connected to the truck, and wedged a piece of pipe between the drivers seat back and the brake petal. All four wheels did engage, however, didn't think to check for voltage, and was unaware of any adjustment.
I do appreciate this info.
