Stupid question, sorry. My 5star trailer has surge brakes. I understand how they work, but was wondering how one would test the hydraulic brakes?? How can I be sure they are working properly? Thanks!

Re: Trailer brakes

if they are disk then uplug the wiring harness from the tow vehicle and try to back up. If drum You would know if they are/aren't working so i guess the key word would be "properly." Adjust them (search the threads on best way) and then test drive.

Re: Trailer brakes

Thank you for providing the link for trailer brakes. I just found the answers to several concerns I had about retrofitting a trailer I bought to convert into a pontoon trailer. Great site.
