I have a 37' 15000# fifth wheel camper with electric brakes. Am I suppose to be able to lock them up when I step on the truck brakes hard?
I do know that if the emergency cable gets pulled out accidentally it stops on a dime, so I know the trailer will lock up, but I never was able to lock them up much less have the trailer brakes slow the truck down to where I would feel comfortable in an emergency situation.
I adjusted the controller in the GMC Dually to where the camper will slow the truck down a little bit, but it never seems like it is holding me back much.
I guess I'm not sure what is normal or if i have more adjusting to do.
