I make the trip to Brick once in May/June and it stays in a slip, comes back out in November. I'll run to seawarren in April and May once or twice, so I don't trailer it all that much. But point taken with trailer brakes, certainly couldn't hurt.
Kept a pretty steady pace of 55-60mph the whole way, little traffic on the first leg of the trip when the brakes showed the hottest. Couple traffic lights off the parkway on the last leg of the trip when the drums were hot as well.
The run from 132 to 100 I don't even think I touched the brakes so I've been chocking it up to they just run hot when towing because of the added weight on the rear, maybe the disks aren't handling the stopping well and the drums are getting more of a work out to make up for the fronts? I'm not sure. Just figured someone on here might say it's relatively normal or no something is drastically wrong.
