All, I picked up this unit in Nov and only towed it about 150 miles before it was stored. We left 30 March from PA on our Fl trip. In route another RVer brought it to my attention that there was a lot of noise at the axle when I released the brakes.
Today I was able to take the time and adjusted all four wheels. Each one required over two full turns on the star wheel. The brakes worked fine but I feel they were way too loose.
I suggest every one with new units check their brake adjustments and not assume the factory or dealer has adjusted them properly.
Good luck and safe towing.
