We just got our very first RV, a 2015 International Signature 19. We're currently camped at Lake Cuyamaca, on the return leg of our maiden voyage to Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. As usual, several issues have arisen on this voyage. The one that belongs in this thread is my braking controller isn'tt working properly.
I paid $895 for the dealer to install this when I could have gotten it on Amazon for $300 because I wanted it done right. But I have noticed that while towing is effortless for my TV (2014 Mercedes-Benz GL350 BlueTEC w/ 455 lb-ft torque), braking seems to require considerable pedal effort, and I'm concerned that should I encounter an emergency situation, my GL will have to do most of the braking for the AS as well.
They never installed the RF remote in the cabin of the TV; they left it in the AS with a manual. So it was not paired, and that's something for $600 they should have done. But I believe the braking force was not adjusted, and that's a real problem - excessive brake wear on my TV, and unsafe braking if we need to brake hard. Am I missing something here?
I tried pairing it using the manual's procedure, but I wasn't sure what they were telling me to unplug; I've watched their video and now I'm clear on what to do. So I'm going to try pairing it tomorrow to see if I can adjust it myself, but I find myself upset at doing something very simple that I paid the dealer LOTS of money to do.
Thanks in advance for your help.
