Never really happy wtih barkes
We have a 2011 Carriage Cameo 37cksls. We bought it new and just love the rig. We've replaced tires (to G range), now just replaced to H rated tires and wheels. Unfortunately, we have never been happy...

Now I'm really confused. I was led to believe the drum brakes from LCI on my GD Momentum were "automatic adjust."
In looking at the "LCI Towable RV Master Manual rev 100313" it clearly states (on page 60) "Lippert Components, Inc. Electric Brakes are automatic adjust only." Then goes on to tell you how to adjust them manually if needed...?? Hmmm Then later says "NOTE: A second screwdriver will be needed to push the auto adjusting lever away from the adjuster wheel so that the starwheel can be rotated backwards."
I guess I'm going to have to pull a wheel/brake drum off and see if they are in fact auto adjust or not.
As far as I know all the automatic adjusting brakes can still be adjusted manually. Just like on our older vehicles with drum brakes. We still had to do the initial adjustment of the pads after replacement to speed up the automatic process.
I'm sure that is correct... but seems funny that they say "automatic adjust only" poor wording...
It seems like more technical writing and manuals are being outsourced. Maybe a lost in translation issue. But like you said maybe just a poorly thought out sentence.
