"I'm sorry, but I took it as, if the exh brake wasn't needed full time rving for 14 years and 160k, then it may not be necessary now."
OK guys lets stop all this chest beating as "I have towed larger loads than that down 20% grades and never needed an EB".
YUP I understand her "HUSBAND" did NOT need the EB. This Lady is already concerned about doing this alone.
Let me ask all you guys would you send "YOUR" wife out to tow in the mountains at 6-7% grades without an EB???
SH!T happens with trailer brakes plain and simple, Ma'am please get the EB and Enjoy Life!!!
So based on her truck and RV loaded she could easily weigh 15-16k.
