I've owned four different rv trailers/several boat trailers and over a dozen GN tandem/triaxle and tandem dual axle trailers in commercial service.

IMO those clam shell crimp type wire connectors that trailer mfg use should not be allowed on a hiway trailer.
I cut all crimp connectors off....then solder and use shrink tube and then tape the joint.
Thats the only way I can get full controller amps to the brakes.
Doing this ensures I can lock all the brakes on any of those trailers when I wanted them to with the manual controller. I use Dexter and Rockwell American 5.2k/6k/7k axles...same as any RV trailer.
I currently have a 36' triaxle GN stock trailer with 7k axles. The trailer has adjustable panels which I would use say for separating rodeo bulls into individual space where they can't turn around. With just over 12500 lbs of prime bulls on board I can slide all six tires if need with the factory controller in the chevy or the Prodigy in my Dodge.
