Back in September I pulled my 7,200 pound TT on West I-80 down from Donner Pass to Auburn, CA. It's about 40 miles of constant downgrade, with some 5% and 6% sections. I stopped halfway to cool the brakes on the TT and my F-150, and thought to play with a newly acquired infrared thermometer by measuring the brakes. Those on the Ford varied from 180 degrees to 220. Trying to measure the hubs on the TT wheels I consistently measured 90 degrees.
I confess I wasn't sure where to point on the TT wheels, and tried several spots - same result. Is there a chance the TT brakes aren't being engaged, and the Ford was doing all the braking?
Thanks,
Rob
