I was in a bit of a smaller rig one time - a 3/4-ton Suburban - and towing a... I think 22', PJ deckover trailer (bumper pull). Was going down a long downhill run and the electric brakes gave out. I don't think it was the brakes, themselves, but rather the small battery that the trailer relies on. I never was able to get adequate answers from the company that took the trailer away, as I never saw it again, but they "claimed" that the brakes were shot.....on a brand new trailer! They were also putting down the PJ brand really hard, so that leads me to believe he just wanted to get the trailer for next to nothing, as all he was using were homemade trailers for his wrecker business!
This was right after Christmas and New Year's, so everything with insurance was taking even more than 2 forevers!! Was a bad time and we took a huge loss on everything then - all due to the timing, the location (1,000 miles from home), and the electric brake system on a brand new trailer.
Whatever you do, make sure your you can trust your equipment!! In our instance, we were the only ones involved....fortunately. But you may not be so lucky should something go wrong.
