Just wondering what most people find normal as to how often to adjust the slack on trailer brakes? We have a 4h, 13' LQ Cimmarron that we've had for 2 years and about 20k miles on it. Appears that the brakes need adjusted. I know it depends a lot on how much they are used, but I have never had to adjust brakes on any trailer before.

It also depends on HOW HEAVY the trailer is as well...

All of mine get adjusted anywhere from 3000-5000 miles.... I like to keep them snugged up. Plus, it keeps the adjusters freed up, keeps them easy to turn.
