If you have a Workhorse, get your calipers checked. We just spent 2 days at a rally. Warrenty paid for brakes on one man's brakes and the people we went with paid $1800 for his brake repair. We had a service seminar and several other Workhorse owners had had some brake problems.

That said we just came from the Smokies. We followed a truck with a Lord forbid trailer hitch on the back off Clingmans dome. He rode the brakes the whole way down and turned rt to Gaitlinburg riding the brakes at 30 mile per hour the whole way, by the time we could pass him we were smelling hot brakes. We had hoped he would pull off somewhere so we could talk to him so he wouldn't kill his passengers. I can imagine him doing that with his trailer attached.
