Rear Brakes and Wheeling

My rear brakes used to be very tight, along with the eBrake. The other day, I went wheeling, and not hte eBrake is looser, and I think there is less stopping power int he rear. This seems to happen every time. What causes this, how do I prevent it, and how do I make my brakes and eBrake tight again?

I think it's in the Maintenance section. It was step-by-step procedure on how to adjust the rear brakes --- by Andy (Bamachem).

if you have rear drums, you can adjust them yourself by removing the wheel and drum, cleaning the hub assy and inside drum surface and setting the adjuster wheel until there is a bit of drag when you install the hub and turn in. you will hear the rear shoes rubbing on the drum. if you have 4w discs, i understand it gets a bit more complicated.
