Expected milage from 5th wheel brakes

Say what you want but my brake shoes say differently. The shoe that engages going forward has much less material than the one that is engaged when backing up! And yes they are operating properly! And both my shoes are primaries because of how the brakes are setup. So mine can be switched. The amount the adjuster gives to the other shoe is minuscule!

And yes I've been doing drum brakes for near 35 years now!

For your reading

Please provide info to contrary

I have never seen drum brakes with 2 primary shoes.
Primary has less brake material and is leading shoe
Secondary has much more material and is trailing shoe

Thanks Old-Biscuit!
I guess I had the primary and secondary shoes backwards, but operation correct. :)
