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 ...

You folks are absolutely terrific!!! Thank you so much!
So I wonder if I do have self-adjusting brakes since the spring is much thinner and longer than the one shown in the image and it's stand-alone, not wrapped around anything.
And/or it could be that I just didn't look far enough to one side.
I'll hook up and back up some this evening to see if the self-adjustment works and then I'll pop off the dust covers again and check a couple of the wheels to see if there are differences which could suggest worn or broken parts. I couldn't see any rust through the adjustment slots but they aren't very big and my flashlight wasn't that bright. Worth checking.
So thank you again for your prompt feedback. Now I have some things to do to possibly alleviate the problem. I'll report back.
I'd subscribed to this thread but never got any notices so would never have known of your replies had I not thought to check back just now. Glad I did!
Appreciatecha!
