Where are yu?? Need to know so I can be somewhere else. If a need for those brakes occurs, I don't want to be anywhere close!
Brakes r fine. they work even if it has no batteries. i've tested them.
Nope. Without a battery the brakes will not engage if the trailer becomes separated from the truck power supply. I am not aware of it being legal to tow like this in any of the 81 states, two districts, 10 provinces or 3 territories of North America. Course, I could be wrong. :)
regular brakes work. what u prolly meant is the emergency brakes.
I may be misunderstanding what kind of unit this is. I am assuming it is a towable. There is no emergency brake on a towable (that I know of). If the towable separates from the tow vehicle a pin is pulled out of a device which allows a set of contacts to close which provides 12 volts from the towable battery to the regular brake magnets of the trailer and causes them to engage the regular (read normal or service) brakes. I am not aware of any other brakes on a towable. Are we talking about a towable or some kind of motorized RV.
