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.
"Nothing But Glowing Posts About This Company"
Upgraded our Solitude at Performance Trailor Braking. Dennis in Cochise, AZ did an amazing job! Shared a lot of knowledge, very responsive and just a very nice guy. 8k axles, 4k Slipp Read Moreer springs, disc brakes, comfort ride shocks, and crossbeams. I no longer worry that our weight is “right on the edge”. I now see why I’ve heard nothing but glowing posts about this company and this upgrade! They are also at many rallies. Thank you Dennis!

"Great installation job"
Zack,
Just wanted to give you some positive feedback. I'm pleased with how the disc brakes have been working. They have a smoother engagement feel compared to the old ones. I haven't Read Moreexperienced any trailer brake error messages, which is really great. I haven't had to make any panic stops yet, so can’t comment on that. I've put about 1200 miles on the trailer since getting the disc brakes.
Thanks again for the great installation job.

"Love the Brakes!"
Love the brakes by the way. Easy install and after about 5 months of use these are worth every penny.
