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.
"Saved Our Christmas!"
e were traveling through Deming New Mexico on our trip from Rockport, TX to Las Vegas, Nevada for Christmas 2023 with the kids and grandkids. We pulled into a truck stop. Turns out we l Read Moreost a bearing on the front axle of our Reflection 337RLS. Worse yet, it had ruined the axle, brake pads, brake caliper and of course the bearings.
I called Performance as my last hope of ever getting to Vegas. Michael put me in contact with Dennis Hageman in Kingman Arizona. He had all the parts I needed in stock and said he would load up and be in Deming by 1:00 AM. After a little sleep, he started on the repair at 8:00 AM and had us on the road by noon. Not only did he do a great job replacing the axle, disc brake caliper and bearings, he serviced the other three axles to make sure we would make it to the kids house. He also inspected the suspension and told me that I may have to have some service done on it soon. He saved our Christmas.
Fast forward to March 2024. I ordered the Roadmaster suspension from PTBon Dennis's recommendation. He told me there were other, cheaper, options, but that this was the best. Since he is quite an expert (in my opinion) I am at least smart enough to listen to those in the know. We met him in Kingman on our way back to Las Vegas and had him install the suspension. I watched the entire install and was impressed with the detail and care he took in his job.
Great product, great service, really great people, and true miracle workers.
