I just recieved a new 2013 Bighorn. The manual tells how to "brake in" the new brake shoes. It says to drive 40 mph and use only the brake controler to slow the unit down to 20 mph. It says to complete this exercise about 20 times along with driving for a short distance between episodes so that the brake shoes / drums will cool corectly. The manual indicates it takes this amount of "brake in" peroid before shoes and drums mate up for 100% braking efficency. Good luck. Keep us posted.
