Anyone got a solution? Van seems to move OK. Nothing seems to be sticking but when one brakes...the squeal is quite awful..
It’s an Elddis Affinity 554. 2017 model.

The caravan is desperate need of a chassis service as there is dust in the brake drums creating the squeal. Exactly the same happened to my caravan as it hadn't been serviced since 2017 so had the caravan serviced two weeks ago and problem now solved.

Embarrassing when arriving on a site and trying to be quiet. This a dealer issue and the a known common issue with the Alko chassis. Our Elddis dealer sorted out the issue. I think the brake drums needed to be replaced.
