Sorry, should have been more clear. I meant that it looked like that guy had found out that the hubs were over greased, and blew out the inner seal contaminating the brake pads.

This is a brand new trailer and my Father-in-law has not touched it with a grease gun. They are telling him that they won't warranty it.

That is a bunch of BS in my opinion. This trailer has had so many issues I think it should be returned.

Yours stores the brake setting? Mine does not stores brake gain or systems, e.g Electric or EoH.

Yepr, it stores the previous brake gain setting and the trailer name.

Storing the name is a given.Storing any gain setting is semi useful.
But if it would store the system type along with the name and mileage that would be useful.
