the only disadvantage i know of with surge brakes is that they can apply as your backing up, esp on a upgrade. some brake cuplers have a "lock out" for just that purpose though. with electric brakes your wearing away the magnetic pickup every time the brakes are applied, plus you will need a controller in the tow vehicle and a big "rv" style plug. another plus on the electric brakes is that you can apply then with the in-cab controller as your going down the road, before you start braking, and you can control how much the brakes are applied. both types have good and bad points....and either is better than no brakes. (when they work of course) not sure what i would prefer in that type trailer, for a camper id want electric brakes, for a boat trailer you would want surge brakes. id always would want a tow vehicle with enough braking capacity in case of trailer brake failure, 3/4 ton pickups are a much better choice than a 1/2 ton for that reason alone, even if you dont need the heavier payload capacity.
