New Owner/Old 16ft Aerolite - Repair Project
I'm a new owner to the RV world, though have been on several trips with the inlaws these past few years in their 21' motorhome. I just bought this little TT, one which needs a lot of TLC for a song...

Hey Splinter, that's a nice looking trailer. Heck all the decals on my 9 year old trailer are faded and peeling.
As far as the brake controller, I run a Prodigy and it seems to do the job for me. In most, probably all states, a brake controller is required for trailers that weigh over a certain amount. I would bet that in Florida that trailer is well over the required weight and needs a controller.
On your question about applying the brakes as Semi's go by I've never heard that one. But to answer about how, you are correct that there is a lever on the controller to do this. Now I have heard that you do want to use the manual lever on the controller if the trailer starts to sway though.
Anyway keep us updated on your repair and keep the pictures coming. :)
