Our 2016/179 woke up this spring with no brakes. I guess it wants to run wild and free!

P3 controller appears fine, brake wires are still connected, and all other electrical controls perform as expected.

Les Schwab maintains the axle and tires, so I’m heading over for their assessment.

Trailer always needed low setting on the P3, so I tried a much, much, higher setting, which seemed to have broken them loose. I’m running circles around my neighborhood, backing it down with each circuit.

Back to camping.
