We had an Eagle HT 29.5bhds. It was a big unit but the floor creaked bad and the water pump was very loud and had bad water hammering when in use. Overall, felt like a budget unit.

I have a 21 ft awning. I bought two 12 foot patio mats as I won't always need the full size and being a bit smaller they are easier to handle.

I bought them off Amazon for around $30 each

The upgrade to the 16 inch wheels and tires is less than $500. Greater load capacity so less concern about them blowing. They are ST but they are Maxxis which are known to be better quality than the...

I'm jealous of that 355. I want that model myself.

As for brakes, no matter how big the unit, the brakes should be able strong enough to lock up. You certainly have an issue somewhere.
