Consumer Description
THE BRAKES HAVE NEVER WORKED WELL SINCE I TOOK DELIVERY OF THE TRAILER. I TALKED TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT FOR THIS HEAVY OF A TRAILER THE BRAKES WOULD NEVER LOCK THE WHEELS UP ON THE TRAILER. I DECIDED TO REPLACE THE ELECTRIC DRUM BRAKES WITH ELECTRIC OVER HYDRAULIC DISK BRAKES. WHEN REPLACING THE BRAKES IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE SEALS ON ALL FOUR WHEELS HAD FAILED COATED THE DRUM BRAKES WITH OIL AND GREASE. THE TRAILER HAS BEEN TOWED 1700 MILES. I HAVE INCLUDED PICTURES OF THE DRUM BRAKES.
