My experiance---get brakes on the trailer--I had to switch from drums(crap) as others have stated to Disc and have been ecstatic about the performance and NO issues with over 2 years on them and always in the saltwater. #2--If you do get in a accident and your insurance or the others insurance finds out--You are SCREWED!! It is cheap compared to what you could get sued for--above and beyond your insurance coverage--if they even cover ya.

Think about it seriously!!

Get rid of them drums and step up to the disc's.

There is my .02

I have disc brakes on mine...no trouble in over 3 years of use in both salt and fresh water...every time they go in salt I flush them well with fresh water.

Towing with my wifes Pilot, I would not want to go without them (it was right scary with my old trailer without brakes).

I would bet a V-20 fully equipped PLUS the weight of the trailer is at least 4000 pounds, that is like doubling the weight of a lot of tow vehicles.
