What objects have you tugged with chains?

A few months ago I made apost about a scary experience I had coming home from a really nice trip to Lake Tahoe. https://www.turbodieselregister.com/ubb//Forum17/HTML/001165.html
There were alot of replies that all made sense to me. My original front pads had over 40K miles on them and my rear brakes were not adjusted up to full. After a little inspection on my 5th wheel it was found that not all brakes were pulling equal and a loose connection was found. The brakes were adjusted on the 5'er at the same time.
I only bring this up again because I saw in the recent TDR a group of Alpenlite / Rammers were having the same problem.
The best advise is have an exhaust brake if you tow a heavy rig in the mountains and keep your rear brakes adjusted up to full.
I also have a theory that when you heat up your front disk enough for them to start vibrating, if you have an enertia type brake controller it will modulate your trailer brakes and make everything shake as if the world is going to come to an end.
I hope the Alpenlite guys don't blame the people who made their fine RV's, and for safetys sake get the same good advise I got here.
Thanks Everyone and Happy RV'ing
