Consumer Description
AFTER FIRST PULL WITH 5TH WHEEL THE BRAKES ON THE COACH WOULD NOT STOP EVEN SET TO MAX GAIN AND MANUAL CONTROL, TOOK TO BACK TO DEALER TO HAVE ISSUE LOOKED INTO. THEY SAID NOTHING WRONG. TOOK BACK HOME AND ADJUSTED THE PADS TO HARD DRAG, (I AM A PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC) STILL BRAKES DO NOT STOP COACH. TOOK COACH BACK TO DEALER AFTER CAMPING SEASON TO HAVE THEM LOOK INTO BRAKE ISSUE, THEY SAID NO ISSUE, TALKED TO FACTORY REP THEY SAID NO ISSUE, THE FACTORY TALKED TO MANUF OF AXLES THEY SAID NO ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEED TO BE RECTIFIED, I CAN NOT EVEN ENJOY THIS COACH OUT ON THE U.S. ROAD SYSTEM WITH OUT FEAR THEY I COULD NOT STOP WITH OUT AMPLE TIME OR DISTANCE. *TR
