Interesting that that is required. My dad told me the place he bought his from new showed him how to change the battery wire to get power from his vehicle and not have to use a house battery.
Well if his trailer had electric brakes, what he did was illegal. How could the trailer brakes work if it detached from his tow vehicle?
Obviously the brakes cant work then. Honestly it never occured to me that those brakes were required to, or even COULD work if it came off the car. I just figured thats what the safety chains are for, (2) for redundancy and that was that. It NEVER in my life occured to me that those brakes could or should work if it came off the car. I bet he has no idea and will not believe me when I tell him. His trailer deff has brakes, it weighs 9000 dry.
I'll go by costco, that guy talked ridiculous. Very unusual for costco to behave as such.
