And don't forget to manually adjust your brakes every 3,000 miles per Dexter.
Why don't rv trailer manufacturers equip our trailers with self-adjusting brakes? Checking Dexter's website I find there is a $3 difference in retail list price (single brake) between non and self adjusting brakes.
Wait, auto brakes go 40-60k miles routinely without adjustment but Dexter wants you to do it every 3k miles?!? Yeah, auto adjusters aren't a gimmick based on that, they're a necessity. I didn't buy a trailer to be pulling off the wheels 3x a year to mess with the brakes, I bought it to enjoy my free time in the outdoors.
You would do well to learn how trailer brakes work, before the enjoyment of free time comes to an abrupt end.
