I was reading the posting on 9/9 about electric brakes and wanted to ask what everyone thought about surge brakes for a 7000 trailer and 1/2 pickup. I don't want an electric controller because I can easily see the problmes discssed happening. Constant adustments for differnet loads and road conditions etc. I'd want fast ramp up for emergency braking but not for normal braking etc. I also want to loan the trailer but not the truck and I'd be loaning to folks w/o electric controllers. I also don't care to have the controller box mounted in my truck -- see no where to put it, look good and be out of my way. I'd do very little towing and not far. Still I hear surge brakes have legal issues in some states. I don't know about NC and VA where I'd likely need to go. I'm not running a business it'd be my personal use. Also surge brakes would allow my tractor to tow the trailer and my old tractors would thank me for trailer brakes they can use. I'd need to have a free backing system but it sounds like the way to go to me. I hear UHaul trailer use them -- they must be legal right? What do you all think?
