Geez, my 23 will skid them.� Box stock.� All you have to do is clamp stuff enough to stop the wheel from turning.� Now that doesn't say the brakes are efficient (they aren't particularly) or that the thing is stable when the wheels are sliding (it isn't), 0nly that the brakes are capable of stopping the wheels from turning.� Mine locks the rears waaaaaay too soon.� At which point the thing's a total squirrel.� But it wil lock the fronts as well.� Remember, once the wheels quit turning, the brakes are no longer dissipating any energy.� But, as an exercise, find a straight, wide, flat, unoccupied stretch of road.� Assuming such a thing exists where you are.� Secure or remve al the loose gear in the coach.� get it up to 40 MPH or so.� STAND on the brakes.� all six should lock and skid.� At this point, you are a passenger, untill you get them turning again.� You're also doing serious dirt to the tires.� But, the brakes ought to be capable of
doing it.

Johnny,
Please post pictures when you get "All six to lock up" by year end; that's only 30 days from now. And then tell us how you did it. If there are no pictures it didn't happen.
Many on this forum have been fussin with their brakes for years and still report that they are sub-par.

Only ones who claim excellent brakeing are those who have installed both the one ton front end and Chuck Aulgar's brake reaction arm system like Dan Gregg.

I wish you success and I'll be in line to copy you.

In the meantime how bout posting some pictures of your dogs.�
