Carnation, can you adjusted the trailer brakes?
The brakes are self-adjusting so I shouldn't have to adjust them. However, I could look into that next Spring.
I'm not unhappy with the current braking. It's just I'm not sure I'm getting the braking power that I should.
I thought the same thing about my new Gateway. It has self adjusting brakes and even with the controller set to 10 the brakes are marginal. I checked the adjustment last weekend and they were way to loose. I'll be towing it in a few weeks and hopefully it will be better.
The brake manufacturers have a runout tolerance that is too great for self adjusters to work properly. You might get lucky and have good drums or maybe not. Adjusting manually is still the best.
