This vid illustrates how much trailers brakes can be improved or how useless the plain jane brakes are that come under our trailers .
They are horse people so the trailers are heavy compared to rv trailers .They changed to a very good controller (one that is anti lock) and changed to disks.
The result was a 87' reduction in stopping distance.
eighty seven feet!
Still think trailers brakes are something you should leave to the manufacturers?
With no regulations we get brakes that are pathetic when perfect and new , and brake controllers not far behind .
