brakes

Arrrggggh! We're on our first outing with our Grand Design Transcend. Stopped on the way out of town to our destination. And when we tried to pull away from the gas pumps we couldn't move forward or backward. We've been sitting in a Kroger parking lot for 2 hours unable to move. Ideas, Please.

I drove home from the dealer and didn’t realize anything wrong (about 20 miles). Next time I moved it I heard what I thought were the chains dragging, but no. Had a friend identify where the sound is coming from and it’s from the front right wheel. Super loud like metal tumbling around in the...

Dear User Forum, We are new to RVing and have a 2022 Imagine 2500RL we are pulling with a 2022 F250. In reading the F250 trailering manual section, they say to test the trailer brakes to determine the proper gain setting on the truck's trailer brake controller. It is adjustable between 1 and...

Have our 376th for 3 years and maybe close to 10k on it brought it in for the warranty work on the microwave recall and had them check the breaks and tires they called and said the pads are worn out and left groove in the drums ask had to be replaced $1800.00 dollars trying to understand how...

Hi, all - I just wanted to throw this question out to the group to see if anyone has insights to offer on a strange issue I'm seeing. The story starts with pulling out of a rough parking lot, which unknown to me pulled the breakaway switch cable out of the switch, tripping the trailer brakes...

We recently took our 2020 Momentum 351M in for a checkup before our first year warranty was up. We had a few things that needed fixing. We also had our dealer - General RV of Draper Utah check our brakes as they seamed to not be working as they should. When the technician pulled the brake...

Hey Everyone, It's time for some new brake pads on the truck, which got me thinking. Should I be considering any upgrades to my braking system? Better pads, rotors, brakes? I have an 09 F150 XLT with Hawk Shell. As far as I know, the truck's braking system is all stock. Loaded up, I'm near my...

Please pardon this being a long post/note for the sake of detailed documentation of a critical safety problems. I discovered that I didn't have any trailer brakes (2018 Reflection 28BH) when I reached the bottom of the Salt River Canyon on highway 77 in Arizona and saw that my truck rear brakes...

43K on my Frontier with a Fleet, the stock brakes were good, I only wanted more braking power a few times. We travel lots of gravel, have been through the Rockies a few times and plan to continue the same. With that said, it is time to replace front brakes, and with some research my head is...

Has anyone found a way to get rid of the removed drum brakes after a disk brake upgrade, other than taking them to the transfer station? Would be nice to not have to put them in the recycle stream...

This isn't a single click, so its not the magnets engaging the brakes. i'm just getting back from a trip for service at the RV dealer (unrelated service) and I notice when I'm getting off the exit a clicking noise on driver side trailer axles when braking. Not sure if its happening both sides...

We purchased a 2017 Solitude 310GK and 2017 Silverado 1 ton diesel in August 2017. Our first trip was close to home. Our second trip was through the UP of Michigan. The day we got home we pulled straight into our driveway...and when we got out of the truck we noticed our slides were out about...

"Check trailer brake" and "Trailer brake not connected" issue with 2015 Ram dually Hi everyone. We just picked up our 2018 Momentum 376th and had an immediate issue with a dash warning coming on - check trailer brake and trailer brake not connected for about 5 second before clearing. My...

GDRV, I have a 2018 Reflection 28BH built 5/17 and I'd like to find-out whether or not it was built with self-adjusting brakes. It seems, from reading the forum, like some trailers have them while others do not. Did GDRV switch to self-adjusting brakes across any/all of their model lines in...

The first time we took our 2017 376Momentum out of our yard, within three or four miles a lot of smoke! Straight to the dealer after talking to to the right guys on the phone. It's still at the dealer (longer than we have owned it), waiting to see who picks up the tab for repairs! Anyone else...

WTW, I have a Tacoma and just purchased a FWC Eagle shell. I also just found out I'll be moving to Germany for a 3 (possibly 6) year stay. I'll be shipping the truck and camper to Germany in March. I'm now prepping the truck and have a few questions I hope you all could answer. I’m looking...

I would like to throw a concept out there that might be helpful to new Grand Design owners as well as owners that have had their rigs for awhile or buying used. SITE Admins: Your input on this is important because you know what can and can't be done. I know it can be done but not sure if this...

Just picked up a pre-owned, never slept in, showered, or used the bathroom. New smell and all. Very impressed with it so far. However, first thing I had to do was clean all the grease out of the brakes as they were over greased at some point. Drums, shoes, magnet were thoroughly coated in...

I did a little searching through the NHTSA website this afternoon to see how many complaints have been filed in regards to grease contaminated brakes on Lippert axles. To date, there have been 10 complaints filed regarding Grand Design products with grease leaking into the brakes. Here's the...

Around 10000 miles on our 369RL never greased didn't need to with that little mileage. Well today I had Mechanic come out to replace with Forward Self Adjusting brakes and here is what we found. 2 of the four wheels had leaking grease seals and the inside of the drum and brakes were coated. 1 of...
