Re: Car hauler or utility trailer?
x2 on the brakes. When I converted to dual torsion axles I also added brakes to BOTH axles. (I can order the stuff thru work and get it for cost, so I splurged ;D ) Way overkill, but my thinking was that the brakes would last twice as long since they would be working 1/2 as hard.
Wow. I've had 5 different vehicles tow this trailer with the new axles, and every one will stop FAR quicker with the trailer on it than without the trailer. That trailer is like throwing out an anchor when the brakes come on. Whoa Nellie!!
And I followed John's advice on the Prodigy controller......thanks again John for steering me there. That thing beats the heck out of the last controller I had, and I was happy with that one. The Prodigy is sheer bliss! (Is it wrong to be blissful about a brake controller?) :-\ :D
