Brakes...a few questions for you guys.

[saenzm]

So I have been on two trips now where I had to descend at fairly low speeds: once coming down from a ski hill in New Mexico and once going down to the bottom of Palo Duro Canyon (in Texas).

Both times my rotors got hot and the brakes where smoking as a result. I took the rig to a brake shop and they said the brakes were fine and that is just the nature of the beast....riding the brakes and not a lot of air to cool the rotors down and a large heavy vehicle.

I was wondering, have any of you had this issue? Can you upgrade your brake system? What are the options?

I will be spending a lot of time in the mountains, so I want to make sure I have the best set up.

Thanks,
Mark
