Do you have trailer inspections (stickers) in AZ? If it were here in PA, I'd be asking who and how it passed inspection when the brakes are performing so obviously inadequately.

I expect that since Winnebago is responding to you directly now, at least one person over there realizes that...now ;)
IMO, mistakes don't always reflect as much on a company as the way they handle them. That shows the true character of a company. Hopefully you (and we) will be pleasantly surprised at their forthcoming responsiveness.
Good luck!
