This is about what Roy Vannoy said here about his Nissan Sunrader Shorty's brakes.? I bought a 1986 18 foot Nissan Sunrader Aug 2022.? The brakes are sooooo like I don't have brakes.? I have to pull back on the steering wheel and step down on brake HARD, to get Sunrader to stop.? One time I was trying to stop on a steep downhill, and put all my body weight down on the brake pedal, and "not much stopping was happening".? I almost rear ended car waiting at stop sign at bottom of the hill. ? I am almost afraid to drive that Sunrader, cos the brake pedal doesn't have much effect.? People who don't know these ToyHomes say "it is the weight of the camper".? No not true.? My same Toyota 18 foot Sunrader stops on a dime with little pressure on the brake.? One time I got a red light running ticket (photo) because the light turned yellow and I hesitated too long, knowing that if I stopped, all my groceries I just bought for camping would be rolling all over the floor, cos it stops so suddenly.? So, I got a red light running ticket for my indecision!? But I got out of it, AZ requires personal service by human, and I proved to the judge, they served wrong person in another state.?? I don't know what is the cause of my Nissan Sunrader brakes requiring so much pressure and effort to stop the vehicle, like Roy seems to know about his Sunrader "strong front, weak rear".? See what Roy wrote below. ?I am assuming poor braking power is a design that comes with Nissan D21 Hardbody brakes not being as effective as Toyota brakes, because I own same Sunrader (1982)on Toyota chassis that stops SO GOOD, THE WHOLE RV PITCHES FORWARD, when I step lightly on the brake! ?It is hard to get some mechanic to resolve this, when they do not know how Nissan is SUPPOSED TO BRAKE!? Anyone here know? I don't know either, I only know my Toyota HAS OPPOSITE BRAKING, so instantly effective, that RV lurches forward.? ? Julia?
