Electric brakes sure sound nice, I like the fact that you can apply the trailer brakes only. Why do you need to do that? If you don't push the pedal, it won't brake, right? Ulix __/__,__ ________/___

I don't want to prolong this forever, but maybe it is of interest to some on the net who plan to do some towing. For you car people, though, smoothness may not be as critical as it is for horse towin

My response to item 1: No can do! For safety's sake, at highway speeds you have to set the trailer brakes at nearly max force short of skidding the tires. That's the only way to stop quickly in an em
