Thanks again for all the inputs on braking. I personally feel that the weak link in my F450 dually with an 18,500lb 5er is the braking system. I drive extremely careful with as big a safety envelope as possible. I still fear the day I have to do an emergency stop. My next upgrade will have the disc brakes. Good Luck Everyone!
I would highly recumbent you get it done ASAP. You will say "I wish I would have done it sooner" !!!!!
I have a MaxBrake it applies the pressure equal to the RV based on brake line pressure. Very seamless braking.
I know the RV brakes would stop the combined setup and also the other way around. Just know it won't happen fast!
Yes it broke since I use it so much!
Noticed but at the time was too lazy to fix. Figured most would figure it out.
Highly recumbent? ๐ฎ Your teleprompter break?

Just out of curiosity, have you ever had your RV stopped and your brakes checked like you describe? I've never heard of, or talked to anyone who has ever been checked that way. Just wondering as I wasn't even aware of it.

don't happen ever
take a truck any truck ,panic stop from any speed you want ,now do it with a trailer hooked on - same distance ? highly doubt it.
Trailer brakes are worse then useless if you believe and trust them to stop the trailer .
They are smaller then the brakes on a '60s econo box and are expected to stop trailers weighing 3 times more?
come on
now get them toasty like coming down a hill or stop and go freeway driving . and are they all perfectly adjusted?
When a mod blithely states 'trailer brakes stop the trailer' I get a chill.
You need to take a ride with me and do a panic stop, you will be shocked as I was at how fast the truck and RV stopped.
