First 5th Wheel--Bad Braking???
Hi, I just got my first 5th wheel and am a bit concerned about the braking. It weighs 12,500 pounds and has a 2500 pound pin weight. I am pulling it with my Ram 3500 which has a 4,200 pound max pay...

Is this a brand new trailer? 1,000 miles seems a bit long to wait and investigate brake issues. I would start with a clamp-on DC ammeter to check each wheel is getting 3 amps when the brake is manually applied. If that checks out I would inspect all brakes by removing the drums. If you are not getting 3 amps per wheel check the wiring and controller.
