My sister's friend Karen has a 13-foot
Burro, which I think might need an
axle replacement. Although the
Burro has (ancient)
brakes, the wiring was screwed up, and the vehicle she uses to tow it doesn't have a brake controller anyway, so she's been essentially towing it brakeless.
When replacing the
axle, it's very tempting, financially, to put on an
axle without brakes--a brake-equipped axle is roughly $200 more.
I'd like to hear your opinions about putting a brakeless axle on the trailer.
Is there anyone out there towing a
Burro without
brakes? How's it working out?
Any hair-raising experiences which convinced you that
brakes were absolutely essential?
