don't do it
 

As a park & refuge ranger on the gulf coast for 20+ years I can tell you that the life expectancy of trailer brakes even if you do a good washdown each trip is less than three years. I love trailer brakes, have them on my utility trailer & use them on many work rigs but brakes & salt water are bad news.

My advise: if you want a safer ride, buy a bigger truck! I tow my V20 with a '97 land cruiser or my '69 ford p'up with a big block.

& oh yeah move south - ice on the road? somebody spilled his cocktail!
