Can Lippert Self-Adjusting Brakes be Manually Adjusted
Question:
I just bought a new RV trailer and I went from a setting on my truck brakes at 6 from the old trailer to 10 on this new trailer and it doesnt want to stop I think they are way out of adjustment. Can the self adjusting brakes adjust themselves up if you manually trip the manual Electric trailer brakes numerous times

Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes, you can manually adjust self-adjusting brakes with a spoon like the drum brake spoon # W80630.
If you let me know what is going on with your brakes I can try to help you troubleshoot why your brakes need to be adjusted.
