Replacement Brake Assembly Recommendation for 2014 Heartland Road Warrior
Question:
I have a 2014 Heartland Road Warrior toy hauler and my brakes just arent working very good. Ive taken the drums off clean the brakes and adjusted the brakes back up again and it just does not stop very well the shoes are worn getting kind of thin. What do you think could be my problem. I have three axles and gross vehicle weight is 18000 pounds I can feel them working. I can feel them trying to stop but on flat ground if I manually do a 100 percent its slowly comes to a stop I cannot stop it fast.

Since you said the padsd are worn thin it's most likely time to replace them to get your stopping power back. For that we have the part # 23-465 for a replacement right hand side and part # 23-464 for replacement left hand side. Based on the numbers I see in the picture you attached this is the correct set you'd need.
Also, since replacing brake pads typically costs about the same as just replacing the entire assemblies it makes more sense to just replace the assemblies all together. Also it gives you all new components and is a lot easier to install.
