I was in a bit of a smaller rig one time - a 3/4-ton Suburban - and towing a... I think 22', PJ deckover trailer (bumper pull). Was going down a long downhill run and the electric brakes gave out. I don't think it was the brakes, themselves, but rather the small battery that the trailer relies on. I never was able to get adequate answers from the company that took the trailer away, as I never saw it again, but they "claimed" that the brakes were shot.....on a brand new trailer!
