    The difference between brakes w/o hand brake and with is $500. Still not cheap but depends on how much you are willing to cough. I thought it was worth it and have no regrets.

    Joan,

    My brother is an over the road trucker and offers only one piece of advice… I think it's elsewhere on the forum too.

    Put your hand on the BOTTOM of the steering wheel and turn it toward the mirror/direction you want the rear of trailer to move.

    With a little practice you'll be able to do this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6CugkAUkSQ

    Guess my question on brakes is answered.I guess I would rather have them and not need them instead of needing them and not have them.
    I better get it ordered before my wife changes her mind
