My hat is off to you Westend.
I had a very small pop up many years ago, (that I could wheel around by myself) and the electric brakes caused great anguish one day when they locked up in the middle of no where for no apparent reason.
It cost me a motel stay with my family along with an expense that I could hardly afford.
I had them removed when all was said and done and never once regretted it

In the past, I've made the point that 7" brakes are junk and completely understand not wanting the grief. I still have a snowmobile trailer with 4 of those, and they need work after every long trip. I would not consider them a safety device, the only reason that I still make an effort to keep them in service is for some measure of control on an icy road.
The magnets coming off the arm and jamming things up is common. I braze a keeper on to eliminate that issue.
I didn't jump in right away on this thread knowing what would follow.
