If you have a newer rig and are adjusting it the first time, make sure both adjusters on the same side turn the same way.
My trailer had the wrong adjuster on one wheel. It's an auto adj system so everytime I hit the brakes, it loosened them!
That happened right up until it totally came apart inside the drum and made all kinds of noise I could here as I parked. Adjuster was destroyed.
Another note on the auto adjusters... they need to be close to begin with or they don't do much. My Coachmen has them, and the brakes were very weak when new, and they didn't seem to be getting better, until I manually set the adjustment. Now they take care of themselves like they're supposed to.
