My daughter in New Zealand - where life is pretty much normal - has taken the caravan away for a few days. The journey involves a climb over a steep, winding hill range, a journey they've done many time without incident.
This time when they were coming down the hill they noticed a noise and burning smell. They stopped and found the caravan brakes to be red hot, in her words. The allowed them to cool and carried on to the campsite without problem.
New brakes had been fitted a couple of months back. I suspect there may have been a problem with the brake overun mechanism. Does anyone have any suggestions/advice I could pass to them?
Thanks.
