Well,
Got the van serviced Friday (1000kms) Jayco Mackay are still settling in to their new business and still have a long way to go. Drove the van back to the van park as home is 250kms from Mackay, no dramas. Today when leaving to come home drove around a few corners then the brakes start to lock up when braking. I have changed nothing with the controller since we picked up the van (P3 Tekonsha controller) have it set on boost 2 at about 12.5v, it has always pulled up the van nicely and quickly without lockup. I adjusted the controller volts back to 9.6v whilst still being on boost 2.... REALLY BAD!!! lock up as soon as i tapped the pedal. changed it back to boost 1 and 12.5v didn't quite lock up as much but also felt it not pulling up the van quickly enough for my liking. Now if i lived 5,20,45 mins away from the dealer I would go back but 2 and a bit hours and with the brakes like they are don't really want to try going down the range!! The real question is do i adjust the brakes with the usual 8-12 clicks back from wheel lock or is there another way/terchnique? I am assuming they under adjusted the brakes and when I put my foot on the controller tries to compensate and jams on the picks.... gets quite scary.
Any constructive comments much appreciated :ear:

ound:I know what the issue was. The young fella must have been climbing through the car and knocked the controller on an angle backwards, and for some reason it makes the brakes worse, I would of thought backwards would have had the opposite affect. Oh well, all good!!
