| I have been on a 10,000 mile three month long trip in my cougar keystone 275 travel trailer. i noticed my trailer brakes were not as effective as they should be, so i went under the trailer and found that the wiring for the front axle's electric brakes was rubbing against the tire, and that the insulation was abraded off of part of the wire. i jacked up the trailer and had my wife apply the brakes while i rotated the tire. the brakes were not working, as the copper conductor was broken. i spliced the wire together using water proof wire nuts which i then coated with silicone sealant. the brakes worked. i used plastic wire ties to secure the wire to the spring hanger, away from the tire. this could have been catastrophic had i needed to brake hard to avoid an accident. the brake wire had worked its way out where it exits the frame. there was enough extra length for it to extend all the way to the tire wall where it began rubbing. note: your model descriptors for keystone do not include cougar trailers. this is an omission. i entered bullet as the model as cougar was omitted for the list. also, i was unable to enter the trailer's vin, as it has more digits than it is possible to enter on your form. | |||

| Tl-the contact owns a 2010 keystone cougar light weight fifth wheel travel trailer. while driving 65 mph the welds on the rare bumper caused the spare tire to fall off. the spare tire on the rear was too heavy and caused the welds to be loose enough to fall off. the manufacturer was contacted and informed him to take it to a repair shop and have it inspected. this will be done at a later date. the failure mileage was 2,000....mw | |||
