we bought this trailer from rv canada in canada it was a jaco dealer
0:07
and the results were like we had bad brakes and then we had to replace and couldn't replace them
0:15
because they're not the availability on parts are not available that's all i can see
0:23
and the only solution was to replace all the axles and everything
0:27
to be able to get going. Coming down to Texas from Canada
0:38
and our truck told us that we needed to service our electric brakes
0:43
So the minute we got in Texas here, I called a fellow up that I know that works on RVs
0:52
He came up and looked at it, took the wheel off, and sure, we needed brakes already
0:59
So from there, we were dealing with CAMCO and FIRE for brakes and axles and all that
1:08
That's all they do. So I went in there and ordered some brakes, and they came in wrong
1:18
So, and these brakes are inch and a half, which is very rare
1:28
This guy been in business for 42 years hasn seen an inch and a half shoes for a trailer so anyway they got numbers off the backing plate for these breaks they ordered some and they came in wrong they reordered
1:51
only came in half the order couldn't get the other half so now we were in the bind we've been dealing five weeks there and this is 30 miles away and i made
2:07
five trips over there back and forth trying to get this thing going
2:13
but we're going back to canada like real soon couple days so finally
2:19
the last resort we had to replace all the axle bearing drums everything
2:26
complete but we couldn't get it they called Jacob and Jacob said your trailer is too old
2:33
that don't make sense it's only 6 years old so we had no choice
2:40
we had to replace everything so So we're looking for a little bit of help from Jacob
2:47
if he can help us. First of all, there's no availability for these shoes
2:56
So you're gonna be looking at replacing axles, the whole kit underneath
3:05
So right off the cuff you just cannot get them And instead of waiting five weeks like we did and it took us to the last minute to go back home to get
3:16
it all together to get the two in nowhere with two inch shoes and drums which is better better
3:26
breaking it can take more weight but this thing was built ultralight and a special built because
3:35
of the ultralight yeah the shoes are smaller for weight the spindle the
3:41
the bearing everything is smaller for the weight being ultralight well if you're going to build
3:50
something ultra light you have to supply at least the parts for it so when you call a company and
3:59
they tell you it's too old well that don't make sense you know we paid a good buck for this here
4:06
it's close to forty thousand dollars this 24 foot travel trailer so we're hoping that
4:16
J.C.O. can help us out here we spent at least close to
4:24
nine, five close to two thousand bucks there to get this braced so we can get back home
4:34
which don't make sense it should have been a a job to replace the shoes but it didn happen because you can get the parts so that all i have to see if jaco can listen to this and can help us out
4:58
that's all i i got to say really the only solution is to replace everything that's
5:05
That's underneath that trailer. All axles, shoes, everything. Right off the cuff, you can't get the shoes
5:13
So that's the only solution that's going to cost you close to $2,000
5:17
Or Jayco should have told us when the company called Jayco, they should have gave them at least a solution or something
5:26
But they didn't. Jayco, they should call Jayco. And Jayco should reply and help them out, which they didn't
5:35
they couldn't uh there was no parts availability right at jaco it's all about their engineers
5:42
that's the problem badly engineered it's not standard parts and brakes and a standard brake
5:50
shoe is two inch and you got an inch and a half which don't even exist around so that's the problem
5:58
ask question when you buy this trailer any Jayco is there a possible
6:04
problem with brakes and ordering shoes when the time comes and that's all I can say
