A few weeks ago, while on the way out of town, I had a caliper lock up while my wife was pulling the boat(while I was pulling the camper on the same trip.) She could hear something was wrong so she called me and we pulled over to check it. By that point, the left brake was metal to metal. We were about 2hrs into a 6hr trip so I improvised and removed the caliper and bungeed it to the axle and we finished our trip that way without issue.
Once back from vacation, I went ahead and ordered new calipers for both sides and a new hub/rotor for the left that got destroyed. Installed everything and bled the brakes and it was great on the first 1.5hr trip. But, this past weekend on the way to the lake we stopped for gas and I could smell hot brakes from the trailer. Jacked up the trailer and now the right side is hanging some. It's not locked down, but definitely dragging. You can spin the tire and it goes about a half of a rotation before stopping.
I haven't had time to pull it all apart yet and inspect, but I'm just scratching my head on why it would be dragging.
