Came back from camping yesterday and it seems the trailer brakes have failed. Trailer seems to either have no brakes, or tends to buck as brakes seem to grab / release. Controller seems to be working normally.
We towed down a bunch of long hills this trip, and the brakes are old. I suspect that I may have glazed the pads or otherwise hurt the media. No sounds of grinding.
I can't inspect without pulling bearings, and I have other much less tedious things to do :P
Do any of the franchise places (Brake Masters, Brake Stop, etc.) do trailers, or do they only service vehicles?
Suggestions?
Thanks...

How about an RV dealer (trailer type) - probably electric brakes I assume. They take different parts than normal vehicle brakes.
and the one place I would have recommended closed as the principles retired a few years back. Have no idea who is good/best.
Thanks... I was hoping to avoid the RV places as they are swamped due to the season. I previously used a mobile RV repair person who was ethical and reasonably priced, but he has retired. :-\
Don... there is an RV place on 4th street that I sometimes use... I guess I will have them take a look at it. I was hoping for a one day turn around via a brake franchise, but since I don't need the trailer any time soon I guess I can leave it on their lot....
