Does any not pull their emergency trailer brake cable?
I am now on my second trailer, and never have pulled it. I have always had a fear that the brakes would lock up. Any one else feel the same ! Guy

Yes, pulling the cable will engage the emergency brakes in the trailer. The brakes will continue to remain engaged until the pin is put back in. The brakes, when engaged, are drawing from the trailer battery. So if you leave the pin pulled, there will be a constant draw from the battery to the brakes until the pin is replaced.
Unlike an automobile that has a manual parking brake that is engaged by a lever inside the cab of the vehicle to the vehicle wheels (all mechanical), in a trailer, it's all electric from the battery.
If you need a mechanical parking brake in a camper. They do make them. There call, "chocks".
