TT Brake Service
Last year we bought 2017 Prowler 28ft. I would like to service/clean the brakes before this season. I'm looking for the information and for some reason I don't see proper instruction how to clean it. ...

What makes you think you need to clean your TT brakes? Do you clean your TV brakes?
That being said, it always a good idea to inspect brake parts on a used vehicle or trailer. That way you know they are in good shape to travel.
For the traveling "I" do I inspect my brakes and bearing about every 5 to 7 years or so. About 10 years is the limit for the magnets on the trailer I own.
In short, there is no reason to clean brakes unless they are contaminated and that's a whole different issue.
This...Depending on the type, you may need to adjust the brakes periodically.
Do a brake check every time you hook up, also. Once you get out of the site on a straight away, manually activate the trailer brakes (low speed). It should give a good strong jerk and bring the rig to a stop. We also leave the flashers on once the ball is connected, so we can check the trailer lights are connected and operational while finishing up the getting ready to leave.
