A Family Affair
Performance Trailer Braking was founded in 2013 and the Barnett Family has been operating Performance Trailer Braking since Dan Barnett purchased the company in October 2017.
Since then, the company has grown around the Barnett's, with Dan, Amanda, Michael, Kelly, Zack, and others all pitching in in various roles. Even those who aren't technically family get treated like they are!
Michael Barnett, a retired military veteran of many years, and his wife Kelly Barnett are full time RVers who spend most of their time working with customers, attending rallies & shows, and keeping the warehouse stocked.
Dan Barnett, a tech veteran of the digital advertising industry, and his wife Amanda, manage the finances as well as the marketing and advertising.
Since taking over, we've worked tirelessly to push PTB's standards of expertise and customer support to new limits and do our best to make sure every customer is treated like we would want to be treated.
We have a small team of honest, hard working folks who are part of the family and help keep things running smoothly for our customers.
In addition, we have teamed up with several mobile independent installers who travel around the country to do brake, axle, and suspension installations.
"...Recommend Performance Trailer Braking"
I just wanted to tell you the brakes are all installed and tested. They work great and I am very happy with them. Also I want to commend John and Barbara. They were a very professiona Read Morel install team. They knew what they were doing and knew the product perfectly.. They were very friendly and answered all my questions. I would highly recommend them to anyone interested in putting on these brakes. Thanks for your great service, if anyone asks me about brakes I will gladly recommend Performance trailer braking for the job.

"Rare Quality Human"
In June, at the Northwood Mfg. rally in La Grande, Oregon we had your disc brake package installed on our Artic Fox fifth wheel. I'm the type of guy that likes to do things like this by Read Moremyself, but as I've gotten a lot older (and hopefully wiser) I decided to have someone else do the job. Ready to commit the extra funds for a safety improvement on our trailer, it was the perfect time. The perfectionist in me is a terrible thing to have because if I can't do it right then I usually don't do it at all. Brooke put me at ease as I watched his diligence to detail and how he made sure everything was aligned properly and worked to perfection. All the time with people coming by asking questions or making comments about problems they've had in the past. Brooke patiently answered all as he kept working, satisfying each rally member with explanations for the information they needed, but most of all, ME. I checked his work out to try and find problems or things he might have missed but it was perfect. You have a rare quality human working for you and should be very proud of the work he puts out and the ethics he has. Needless to say, I'm very happy with installation and performance of the brakes you supplied.

"Highly recommend all of them"
We had Performance Trailer Braking install the Road Master 8k Comfort Ride Slipper Spring Suspension, disc brakes and a Moryde Pin box. Very nice upgrade. Kelly and Michael are true prof Read Moreessionals!! They answered ALL my questions and there were many. Great working with them! I can't say enough good about Preston and Alyssa and how knowledgeable they are about what they do. We felt very comfortable with them. Did all the work in 1 long day. I would with out a doubt highly recommend all of them to anyone and everyone.
