Hi guys. Thanks!
I'm replying to all answers so far, in one reply. So if you are watching the thread to see what I'm saying, you may have to sort through this to figure out which part of it is my followup to what you said.
1. I forgot to add that while I was driving down the road, I did turn the gain up to 8 for a while. When I pinched the buttons on the dashboard, I did NOT feel that the tug (as one of you calls it; good term) was any more pronounced than when the gain was at 6. That did tend to reinforce my suspicion that the brakes need adjusting.
I did not think of testing the manual brake buttons on the dashboard while at a full stop. I can't do that now, cuz the rig's at the shop, but I'll remember that!
2. I agree the trailer has been idle for nearly 9 months. I wondered what effect that would have, and I noted one of your replies said that that could, in fact, have some effect.
3. I'm not in a position to do anything myself, so at the moment I'll just wait to see what my RV center does for me, if anything! I've thought before that I might need to shop for another servicing site! There aren't that many nearby but there must be some others somewhere!
I was also unaware of the "self adjust feature while backing up". I'll remember that, too, in the future, once the rig gets back from the repair shop.
Thx again.
