Hey guys and gals. Picked up a new to us travel trailer and can't get brakes to work at all. Had to be extra careful towing it. Plugged in, truck shows "Trailer not connected. Check brake wiring." mes...

Thank you guys for all your help. I truly appreciate every single one of you. (and I never felt criticized at all)
My plan of action:
1. Go hook up to friend's trailer tonight and see if truck is happy with it. If it is not, then 7 pin or brake controller in truck is having issues. (I've thought about getting an extension and trying the in-bed 7 pin connector for 5ers).
2. If #1 checks out, hook up to my trailer, pull the breakaway pin and drive forward. If nothing happens, then brakes on trailer need attention.
3. Jack trailer up and check brake system.
4. If I can't find the issue, drink another beer or two, throw my hands up and take it to auto shop (where owner is an RVer and has extra knowledge).
Much appreciated again!
Good plan, hope you find it! Even if you have to go with 4, at least you can enjoy the beer, and know you did your best!! :)
Good luck,
Jerry
