The larger front calipers may be my next step but I'd like to hear all
sides of the Power Master story as well. I hope everyone keeps the info
flowing.
Bob,
I have the powermaster setup on my 26' GMC. It was installed by the
PO. I read all the posts about the whimpy brakes on these coaches and I
didn't understand what the fuss was all about. Then I decided to check
out the brakes on my GMC & they just didn't match up with what the
repair manual said I was supposed to have. I sent a post to the net
describing what I had and THAT'S when the guys on the net straightened
me out and told me what I owned. I 'm pretty impressed with it. It
gives you a sense of confidence when driving the coach. Very predictable
stops, no apparent fade and downgrades are no problems. Although not
nearly what some of these folks pull behind their coaches, I recently
pulled my 1,000 lb trailer to a local swap meet and really couldn't tell
it was back there.
I don't know if this helps or not but consider it an input.
