Went out on first camping trip and brakes went out on trailer.
Me being me thought I could fix it. 9 out of 10 times I can.
After replacing everything from the umbilical cord down to the wires between the axles
I gave up and dragged it to the shop with no brakes.
Found out 3 of the 4 magnets died the wires feeding them fell apart and grease made its way to the brakes also.
So no camping for us his summer
Hopefully finding out Monday if we are approved for our new trailer. Which we should have done in the first place.
