    No Brakes

    Has anyone had any problems with Dexter axles on their 40' Cyclones? We have a 5th wheel and we lost brakes the 3rd day we had it. It has lost brakes 4 times since. Its magnets, missing components in the drums, overheating. It does not take much to throw a magnet. They do not activate evenly...

    "Check trailer brake wiring" and "trailer disconnected" messages + one hot wheel hub

    Hi all, we were trying to troubleshoot the trailer messages and we knew we had one hot wheel, last wheel 3rd axle passenger side. We thought it was a wheel bearing. When we took the wheel off, we discovered a brake pad retainer spring sticking out from the drum assembly. When we spun the drum...

    Dexter Axle Wiring Diagram. HELP!

    Day before yesterday I lost a tire. The blow-out made a mess of my brake wires. I've got more loose wiring than I have places to go back to. Does anyone have a diagram for the Dexter set-up. The manuals page has a lippert but it Doesn't match what I have. Thanks in advance.

    Disk brakes

    I know this has been discussed before but I called Mor-Ryde to ask about them and the person seemed to think I would need to upgrade my axles on my Bighorn 3670RL from 7000 lbs to 8000 lbs. This does not sound right so I thought I would find out what the ones of you that have changed to disk...

    Brakes on a Big Country jamming on

    I have been traveling the east coast on my way to Florida, and while driving on I84 to Scranton PA my trailer brakes started to jam the wheels so hard that I could not put the brakes on the truck without draging the wheels at normal setting of 70%. So I removed the front right side wheel and...

    Axle & disc brakes

    Well here it is 3 years from when I picked up my BH. All in all I still would buy another. A lot of little problems but nothing major until now. After 3 camping seasons we were on our way back from Dorney Park in PA with the grandkids when my brother in law from behind me tells me that my rear...

    Disc Brakes

    Has anyone switched over to disc brakes. Silly question huh. I was looking at them on the mor/ryde website but didnt see any pricing. If you have them what did it cost and was it worth it. Thanks

    Drum Brakes on BH 3670

    Are drum brakes adequate for the 3670 trailer? It seems to me that everyone has moved to Disc brakes and yet I am told that BigHorn is staying with drum brakes. Is there a reason for this? Just curious..

    http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/22680924/gotomsg/22681064.cfm#22681064 I posted this to show how the magnets once powered, grab the drum and apply the brakes. The more power applied to them, the magnets grab harder and stop trailer. I know some of you. New and old...

    checked me brakes today mate, bummer

    3 out of 4 were working. The defective one had most of the wires inside the hub fried. Looks like they rubbed against the drum and shorted out. We are getting ready to head out for our second outing (Approximately 900 miles this time) with the 3110DS. After our first outing into the desert, at...
