Brakes?

I think that anything over 1000 lbs has to have brakes. JMHO

Thanks for the reply.

So then, would most TT's, especially the newer ones, which weigh 4K-5K LBS come with brakes? And maybe just aren't listing them in the ads because it is just standard?

The brake requirement threshold seems to be around 3000 lbs. I don't know which "bracket" you are referring to but whole brakes with backer plate can be purchased and are not that expensive. Check Etrailer for pricing and installation instructions.

Thanks. I think you might have just answered my question. So basically, most travel trailers will just accept bolt on brakes with no welding or such?



Thanks again guys. I really do appreciate the help.
