Re: Surge Brake Questions
Thanks all for the responses.
There is no way to tell how often the trailer will be used. We use it to light up the night when the need arises. Usually drawn out scenes of accidents and last week at the scene of a small plane crash - that's why I asked. I used my F 250 to get the trailer close to the scene, and back to "the barn". My truck pulls and stops the trailer with no problems. It's just a pain to back the trailer up uneven grades, and the transition to garage where the trailer is kept. My rear tires have a tendency to lose traction on the concrete pad, as my front tires are trying to get past the 2" step up from gravel to the concrete. I don't use 4 wheel drive, because it's a tight turn backing into the garage, and my front end will hop with the hubs locked.
I've advised my chief to not let anyone with less than a 3/4 ton truck pull the trailer, but we never know who is around when we need the trailer.
Thanks again for your help.
Marc
