That's crazy, I've never heard of air brakes on such a lightweight trailer. Maybe they went with air to eliminate the issues with electric brakes in mud and water.
It is 13,000lb Travel Trailer, so not exactly lightweight, unlike a US 5th wheeler it will be going Off Road. So far from Crazy
"Crazy" being an opinion, a subjective term, not meaning it's bad, just very different and unusual. But 13K is very light for a trailer with air brakes. Most air brake trailers I've seen are 25K plus GVWR. It had to be a little pricey to set up that pickup to control and supply air brakes.
It is a custom build, manufacturer builds only Off Road Caravans and went for full air brake
An ex Texan , if some what eccentric , naturalised Australian built this for his own brand of Off Road Caravan
