More brake dust?

[rabreen]

I have a 2014 Cougar 327RES tjat we bought new in 2015 and I am noticing there is much more brake dust on the drivers side front wheel than any of the others. When I asked my dealer, they suggested this was normal as the drivers side front brake is first in line for power from the tow vehicle. It makes at least some sense to me, but I wanted to check in here to see if anyone else has this happening?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Light travels at 186,000 miles a second. Electricity travels through a wire at about 1/100th of that (around 1860 miles per second. Even at that "slow speed, the "time lag" from the front driver's wheel to the other wheels (around 5 feet) is not "great enough" to cause that to happen. It could be that wheel is adjusted a tad tighter, the magnet is getting more electricity (bad connection elsewhere) or that wheel could be "carrying a heavier load" based on how you load your RV and/or the load distribution and how Keystone built the trailer. It's not "distance related" based upon the length of the wire to each axle/hub.

That's a new one for me. John has the most logical and likely answer.

This... the dealer pulled that answer, from a very stinky location (full of bull comes to mind).

Really??? Did he smile when he said that?
He was either having some fun at your expense, or he is a liar. And, if he will lie to you about the brakes; what else has he lied to you about?
With me, it's all about trust. Were it me, I would never darken his doorway again. Just sayin'.

Thanks everyone.

Now that I think more about this, the 327RES has the heavy super slide on the drivers side - kitchen and living area. I suspect the drivers side is heavier than the passenger side. That's probably a better explanation than the dealer! Thanks JRTJH!
