Electric Brakes Electric Brakes: Yes Or No?

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.

Jenn,

There is a grocery store that went out of business just up the road. Next time I bring the camper home, I will probably stop there and practice. I think I just need to get a sense of what happens when the wheel turns without the pressure of having to actually get the camper into a spot.

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

Same advice given by my Dad to me over 40 years ago and it made things so easy...
 
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
