Tucker is absolutely correct. It is called "burnish". The new drums and the new shoes are not perfectly matched right out of the box. Set your trailer brake controller to 10 or max. Take the Monty for a ride and use the manual brake controller to slow down, do this at least 12 times You will feel a marked improvement after 12 but sometimes it may take a few extras to complete the burnishing. Large empty parking lot is always safer.
You don't have this problem when you pick up a new camper from the dealer because the transport people have burnished them for you.
