Consumer Description

Found that two separate brake lines became disconnected from the brake units allowing all of the brake fluid to spray out and put zero pressure on the brake pads. There is a Facebook page for Riverstone owners. I found that there are a handful of other reports of similar brake failure on other Riverstone 5th wheel trailers, and some users report repeated failures. The problem seems to be a systemic one in that the brake lines are barely secured on their path from the pumping unit to the individual brakes and there is no provision to deal with the normal vibration that they experience. These are large trailer units that pose a significant risk to others when their brakes fail.
