Brakes grabbing

Last trip I noticed the trailer brakes grabbing. Once past very light pressure they grab.

An offer

I've been in Fl for a few weeks now. Nice and warm, lots of golf. On my way to Alafia SP, east of Tampa, from Silver Springs SP in Ocala (a wonderful SP) stopped at a rest stop on I 75 for lunch.

Re: Hitch jack removal help

Finally got the s.o.b. off. What a PIA it's it's been. The new Barkley makes life so much simpler and easier.

Getting ready to head to fla, my idea of winter camping😁.
I'll give it a try when I return. Or when whiling away the the warmer days in fla.

Re: Last trip of ‘18 and first of ‘19

The only thing I like about winter camping is that I know I'll be in Florida in a couple of days.
Last winter it was 16 deg in Atlanta. Yuk!!!
