Hiya folks.
I seem to have developed a squeak when braking. I checked the wheels for heat, and noticed that the offside is slightly warmer than the near side, but only slightly. Something to be concerned about I assume? Back to the dealer? And yes, I tried a search 😉

We have a 1 year old Coachman on an Alko chassis and the brakes have squealed since new. Reported to the dealer who did the recommended fix advised by Alko.
It lasted all of 500 miles then they started again. It is now going in to the dealer for its first service and to have the brakes replaced under warranty, we hope. I say we hope as the dealer said it was a warranty job but Alko are no being a bit iffy about it. Wanting chassis number etc. I have read somewhere that Alko changed suppliers but have now gone back to original supplier, how true that is I couldn't say.

If the drums are scored which they probably are you will need shoes and drums. If no scoring just shoes.
From about mid2017 alko sourced shoes with dodgy friction material, they tried unsuccessfully to get the manufacturer to sort it but I believe they have reverted to the original manufacturer since about March 2019.
I've had issues since last year now sorted after 3 tries!
