That's part of the problem.

Typically, a very small percentage of Airstream owners, have the brakes adjusted and/or serviced as they should be.

Since wear reduces the stopping power of electric brakes, further reducing the stopping power by changing from 12 to 10 inch brakes, is not a very good idea.

We see all to many brakes systems, that make you wonder how someone slowed the rig down, let alone stopping it when they needed to.
