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...

I fought the same issue with my new TH and a Ram 2500. After reading all the issues with the IBC I was convinced it was the truck. I also had issues with my new 24ft enclosed trailer not stopping well.
However, after putting over 1000 miles on it I am now down to 5-6 in the gain and it stops very well without doing the initial adjustment. I sold my last trailer before putting that much miles on it.
For the first several hundred miles I had no brake dust on the wheels. Now they are getting dirty after every trip.
With that all being said. There is a flash update available for the IBC on our trucks. I will be having mine done this week when they do the water pump recall. I'll pull the camper this weekend and see if it's any better/different, if so I'll post here.
