I'm having some issues with the brakes on my Trailer. Its a VM Trailer. The Brakes are mounted on the 2 forward wheels of the trailer. The rear wheels have no brakes. I have a pretty steep hill going down to my house. Is 1/2 mile long and its about a 10% grade. So I'm riding the brakes all the way down the hill. When I stop at my house my brakes are very hot and you can smell them. Some times you can see smoke. This weeknd we went on a road trip and I noticed that at the bottom of a long down hill road it looked as if my brakes got so hot that the grease melted out and flew all over the wheel it self. Now I notice My brakes are grinding pretty bad. I'm sure I need to turn the rotors and replace the wheel berrings ect. I was hoping some of you had some Insite on what's going on. My first guess was that they are set to tight and don't let go and im dragging the brakes.
