New Brakes Requires
Our 12 yr old KZ Spree has never had new brakes, when we bought used 2 yrs ago, it still had the original tires as it had very rarely been towed anywhere! We have since towed it well over 20,000 km m...

ive had trailer brakes on other trailers that could lock up all 4 wheels, on this trailer it's not even close(same axles/brakes but on a much lighter trailer), so performance should be better just with the drum brakes.
when we first bought the trailer(privately), i pulled the drums and the shoes were like new, some minor rust on the drums but otherwise they were like new as well.
after our first long trip, there was very little wear and the drums were clean and shiny, some wear on the magnets. still mediocre braking
i do need to check the wiring carefully, need a bigger ampmeter for that i guess. i'll check the amp draw by pulling the disconnect switch for a second or two.
tow vehicle is a 2017 ram 1500 with factory controller and its turned all the way up
