2014 Dutchmen Travel Trailer Brake Adjustment
Hi. I performed a search of the forum but couldn't find anything that spoke directly to this question so I hope you don't mind my posting it. My intent is to do full-time RVing when I retire in ...

ALL drum brakes have an adjustor.......even ones that are self adjusting.
Some adjustors are harder to get at due to position of spring that holds primary and secondary shoes against adjustor.
Use a strong flashlight on narrow beam...shine it thru one of the slots so you can see where to engage adjustor
Some self-adjusting brakes adjust going forward...some backwards...some either direction.
With all the rust that is evident on that 5vr I would at least pull one drum off and inspect components........shoes/magnets could be rusted up.
