I'd like to add one thing to Rustyfarmalls comment, make sure you have the breakaway trailer brake equipment installed, working and the hook up visiable to Mr. Bear. Had a Cal CHP give me a real hard look one time and I guess the 12 volt battery in the trailer tonge and cable to the switch convinced him that I had some idea of what I was doing. Little did he know that the whole rig 3/4 ton PU and trailer weighed 13500.# I was told that the safety brake is necessary in NY if the trailer Gross weight is over 10000#. Probably vaires in other places.
