trailer brakes

[RidgeRunner]

Taking the wind out of my sails thinking about pulling the drums to flush after every trip. That is taking maintenance to a new level. If that is what it takes, me no want.
Breakaway braking feature would be handy if/when the time comes, trailers breaking away from their tow at speed is a chilling thought.
For what it is worth, I liked how the Disk brakes performed under the Whaler. Front axle brakes only. If you got hard on the binders the stopping distance was nearly the same as the tow vehicle itself. The one axle braking power was very inspirational. Tires never locked up, if they had and the axle without brakes would keep her tracking straight. In 5 years I never had any problems.
Having said that I have never had brakes under the Wellcraft so Never a problem. The tow vehicle of sufficient size to offer some good stopping power sure helps when no brakes are the case.
