Re-Wiring the brakes.
My 35' ~10,000 lb GVWR trailer brakes were wired with 14 gauge wire and very poor crimps. All the crimps on that I've seen so far are pretty bad... I'm going to redo it with a quality crimp tool ...

The trailer side however per the axle manufacturers ALL the ground returns for the brakes MUST be terminated at the FRONT of said trailer. In other words the grounds must not be terminated at the axles to the frame.
The diagram I saw showed a ground at the frame at the front (battery grounded to this) and then another ground at the frame at the rear at the end of the brake cable ground run. So both the frame and the cable end up as ground conductors. Is this a good practice, or is it frowned upon?
It seems like it could only improve the return and therefore decrease any voltage drop.
