does 1985 nomad trailer have brakes?
if so, how do i check? does it brake when tow vehicle brakes?
Forum Discussion
You can test the brakes with a compass. Hold it near the brakes, and then have someone apply the brake controller in the tow vehicle. It will swing north towards the working brake drums. If not working then the compass will still point north.
Don't leave the magnets on for a long time, 1 minute would be the limit before giving it time to cool off. Better to limit magnet time on to about 10 seconds if possible. ..
Each magnet should draw as much as 4-6 amps each, or 16 to 24 amps total for 2 axles.
Good luck!
