Weak Brakes

I have a 2020 No Boundaries travel trailer with a Lippert torsion axle w/ 15" wheels. The brakes are pretty weak even with the camper empty. I've towed numerous campers so I understand how the brakes should feel. I have my controller maxed out and on max boost. I just gave a quick visual inspection and there are no obvious issues. How do I figure out what is going on? Some sort of voltage test?

I bought the camper used, so it's not a thing for the dealer.

  • First adjust the brakes. If that does not give you the braking that you think you should get, look at the wires that are used on the trailer brakes and see what gauge wire was used. I have seen some pretty wimpy wires on some trailers.
