Next problem on travel trailer identified and parts purchased. Fix it tomorrow night, check other 3 wheels for similar problem forming.

Brake adjuster came out and caused a hot mess coming home Sunday. New brake backing plate with all hardware. Undo 4 bolts. Remove old. Put new on. Install 4 bolts, connect 2 wires, adjust and done

newer trailer are junk. I don't plan on moving mine any time soon but when I do it will need to go in again as well. right before I pulled it out to the lake last year I realized one of my leaf spring brackets on the frame is bending and allowed my leaf spring to roll back open the axle. I have about 3" of clearance now from the underside of the trailer.

don't get me started Chris, this year has not been a good year for me with that trailer. Yes it has a pile of KM on it, but I don't ever remember any trailer growing up failing so early in its life.

our old trailer we used for 6 or 7 years I think and I didn't do a thing to it. the first 2 years of owning this one it spent more time in the shop than out camping. the bid quality is garbage. and then they fight with out over warranty claims. I will say though when I went over western RV's head and right to cruiser. Cruiser Rv did good on taking care of the issues and dealing with the dealership for me

beautiful, downtown Salmon Arm, BC
I tried to drown today
Be careful down there bud. Did you know that you are playing in the most deadly lake area in BC? Most of the BC lake drownings happen in that area......
the top lake for drownings was Okanagan Lake, where 30 people died in the same span. Shuswap Lake (9), Kalamalka Lake (7), Wood Lake (6), Mara Lake (6) and Skaha Lake (5) all made the top ten.
