Coming home from a long wk-end of camping i noticed the driver,s side front tire of our Antigua would skid slightly when coming to a stop.
I first want to adjust the brake out slightly to see if this will help as i already tried adjusting the controller.
Do i rotate the adjuster up or down to back out the brake,i'm going to try one click at a time.
Thanks

Down on the end of the adjusting tool will tighten the brake shoes.

note you might be running too much tire pressure for your load also. our little trailer does that if tires have too much pressure. note DO NOT run lower pressure unless you have really weighed your fully loaded rig, and can use manufacturers tire tables.
