Hi, I am new to this world and am considering getting a pop up camper to tow behind my 4Runner. I live in Colorado and camp frequently. I have two kids under two so this is really for when we want to...
One thing grabbed my attention immediately.... brakes!
In Indiana, you can to a trailer (total max weight of everything), under 3000 pounds without brakes. I just remember, my Starcraft did not have any brakes. Stopping power depended upon our mini-van only. Check your state requirements, and check your tow vehicle to ensure it has enough "stopping" power. I don't see anything on this web site about trailer brakes.
