The picture of the camper is small. Hard to tell for sure but I don't think its big enough to be surge brakes.( thanks for the pic EldIr )After all my excitement I don't think I'm going to go look at it in less he will take it to be weighed.Its possible its 4500 pounds with stuff in it for all I know. I live 100 miles away and I am afraid it will be a wasted trip. he says it has NO brakes. A Friend thought that even if they had been electric brakes, If they aren't there to know which brakes to buy it could be a nightmare. Maybe couldn't do it. I can't afford all this on top of buying it. If I replaced the whole axle there is still the added charge of the mechanic replacing it on top of the parts cost.( Any one have any estimate guesses of mechanics fees to do this?) But I learned a lot from the posting.
