2010 Keystone Passport 199ML Breaks
12-year-old 20’ 4,000 lb. dual axle camper purchased new. About 12,000 total miles. Indoor winter storage. Brought to a dealer for wheel repack. Found a problem with the brakes. “Front friction material separated from shoes" on one of the brakes. Replaced all four “brake backing assemblies” and “brake plates.” Dexter brake set 23-472401 (2) and 23-473401 (2) $679.96 total parts. Was shown the old brake assemblies and what apparently separated on one but I wouldn’t begin to understand what was wrong. Brake replacement and wheel repack total labor was $562.47 (4.5 hours total, 2.5 hours for the brakes). Including seal kit (31.20), shop supplies ($64.18) and tax, the total out the door was $1,405. Thanks for thoughts on the life and failure of RV trailer brake assemblies. (BTW I’m told this particular assembly is no longer made.) And how can I tell if the brakes are adjusted correctly? Tekonsha Primus IQ Electronic Brake Controller. Thanks again.
