I've not seen anything to indicate that I have any brakes at all on the TT. I called an RV place, and they seemed relatively sure that it didn't, given the age and size. (1987 Shasta Revere 155MB, 15 ft.)They also said that given the weight and TV, that I probably wouldn't need them. What's a girl to do? It is an expensive prospect too. Can I look somewhere to see? I'm beginning to think I should have never bought this! Uggg..
You might just be lucky enough to lack the correct pigtail. I know yours is a four-flat, but lots of folks have cut off the originals and put those on, especially if towing a small trailer with a big ol' truck. When I bought my present teeny tiny trailer, the P.O. didn't even KNOW that the trailer had brakes for that reason. That four-flat sounds like a refit anyway, since it doesn't provide any charging to the trailer battery either. And certainly that was a standard thing on trailers when yours was built.
Also:
No matter how much other things have changed, brakes have been wired with BLUE WIRE since w-a-a-ay back when. First place I'd look for that wire would be where the pigtail joins the trailer wiring. Is there a blue wire leading away from there? Then look under the trailer- should be a blue wire at each wheel hub, connected or not.
