means to have the best brake performance on both systems, the
trailer and the tow vehicle must perform and operate together. Any
attempt to use either brake system alone, tow vehicle or trailer will
cause accelerated wear and damage.
A brake control must be installed in your tow vehicle, mounted under
dash to activate the electric brakes with 12-volt power either
manually or by foot brake pedal. Electronic type is used most widely.
Each brand has their own operating instructions.
Battery in the tow vehicle is the primary source of power to operate
the brake system in towable trailer. Keep battery and charging
system in good working condition to ensure available energy when
required.
Wiring to operate your brakes must be sized in both vehicles, a
minimum of 14 gauge Is required. Your camper has 14 gauge from
front end to brakes. Brake assemblies are wired in parallel, never in
series. Being parallel, there will be equal voltage and amperage at
each brake assembly for equal braking capability and/or
performance. 12 gauge may be desired in your tow vehicle.
Use the foot pedal control for general operation on combined use of
both brake systems. Manual control is to be used only in special
situations, such as slow movement or icy road conditions. In open
position, electrical current will flow to brake assemblies activating
them.
Power from the battery is sent to the controller, the “switch” to
provide the correct amount of current to brake assemblies on the
coach. As you press harder on the brake pedal, more current will
flow, applying brakes more, increasing braking capability.
When applying brakes to stop the trailer, begin pressing slowly to
avoid quick and sudden stops, or possible “jack-knife” when wet or
slippery. Use lower gear ranges to minimize the need of brakes
during extended or steep downgrades.
WHEN YOUR COACH IS NEW IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO ADJUST
THE BRAKE SHOES PRECISELY. WITH SELF-ADUSTING
BRAKE SYSTEM, THEY WILL SEAT THEMSELVES MUCH
SOONER THAN NON-SELF ADUSTING SYSTEM.
This is why KZRV has chosen to place self-adjusting brakes on your
coach.
