So I’ve always had boats that had surge brakes. Never dealt w electric brakes. I’m looking to get an camper trailer that has electric brakes and I have a max tow. Pardon my ignorance, here are my questions:
1) being new to electric brakes, I thought that blue wire to the 7 pin hitch adapter told the trailer when to brake? Why do you need a brake controller?
2) I would be looking at getting a large trailer... 6400 dry, with a max load at 7450. Just want something big that has enough space. Would only be driving up to 2.5 hours. I know the max rating is 7650 for mine, is this running it too close to the limit?
3) has anyone towed something this size with a max tow?
4) has anyone installed a weight distribution system, would you recommend in my set up?
Also, I would be towing this rig 2-4 times with a year 2-3 hour distance trip. The other time it would be at the house for when we have friends at the house to stay (we live on the river).
Thanks!
