I bought a new gooseneck trailer about a year ago. It's seen about 4500 miles of use so far. I can't seem to keep the brakes adjusted. They fade away quick. (Maybe 150 miles) Then they need a few clicks on the adjuster. (Dexter brakes-all electric) It's a 14,000 lb trailer that hauls (routinely) about 8,000lbs. cargo. It's not overloaded. They worked fine for about the first 1000 miles, then started to give problems. I've had them apart to inspect, and everything SEEMS ok. Is this normal? (Never had this kind of wear on any other trailers) Same truck (and controller) pulls another trailer with good results. I use a Draw-Tite controller (Time control) set at about 4.5 to 5.5 "sensitivity" and about midway on the time control, when loaded. Thanks in advance. John
