I own a 1995 Lafaro ZAA 3000 AT for towing my cars and lately I noticed some worst brakes issues, like seized if parked for long time under rain and a swing when braking. I tuned it several times like I do in my old Land Rovers, but it works only for a short period of time. Hubs are BPW ECO but did not find anywhere an expalanation how this brakes get tuned. Your videos are the closest I found until now, besides some detail differences. I will try to follow your suggestions and try to fix it myself for good. Thanks for your explanations.
Brilliant! Really informative and thorough guide. If I may suggest a new video topic, it would be really helpful to know your thoughts on the pros and cons of single/ double axle, braked/unbraked, wheels below or to the side, etc. Thanks for posting.
how much play in a coupling is too much? have an old bradley coupling seems about twice as much play as a new alko i felt, play goes away when greased, that ok? thanks
Hi it is not acceptable to have a lot of play in the draw tube of a coupling work on a maximum of 1mm where the drawtube comes out of the body. When servicing a trailer we pump 2 squirts of grease into the 2 grease nipples on the top of the coupling if all play disappears with these 2 squirts of grease it is acceptable. Please note that the first time the trailer is used it will have play again.

Watching this AFTER buying a trailer and not looking forward to doing these checks on it 😢
It's unfortunate you didn't watch first but hopefully our videos will help you maintain your trailer.
