Electric Brake Issues - Weak Brakes
Hi,
I have a 2017 R-Pod 180. Recently I repacked my wheel bearings and inspected my brakes. I noticed that the 1 shoe on the drivers side was really worn. I decided to replace the whole break assembly and hub. Very easy replacement.
After I got everything back together, I adjusted my brakes on both sides. I adjusted them according to every youtube video I could watch. I can spin the wheel on both sides, but hear a slight drag of the brakes.
When I road tested it, I decided to set my brake controller (Prodigy IQ). I quickly realized that my brakes were not doing much of anything. I readjusted my brake controller. I ended up cranking it all the way up. As a result, I can feel the brakes working. If I'm coasting at 20 MPH and hold my manual override button on the controller, I can just about make the truck and trailer stop. I feel like they should be more powerful though. If I crank up my brake controller, shouldn't I be able to just about lock up my trailer tires?
We are leaving in 12 days for a 4,000 mile mountain vacation. I really need to get this figured out!
I've tried different combinations of brake adjustments and controller adjustments and seem to get the same results.
Any advice?
