[SEL] Trailer Brakes - Question

[bill at antique-engines.com]

No kidding - what's up with no electric brakes? Why?
I bought a new trailer this past spring - smartest thing I did - sell my
old one with NO brakes and get one with brakes on both axles.
I found it a DREAM to pull, and the brakes saved my bacon once already.
I got a 20 footer for less than the price of a new 18 footer because it
was "last years model"

It's a bit far forward on this picture (should be back a few inches IMO),
but my neighbor loaded it up for me since at that time, my bicep tendon
wasn't connected to the bone yet....

My F20 will JUST fit (it's wide), the fenders pop off in minutes, of
course the current battery backup for the electric brakes and all.
I've made sides so I can load up engines and strap 'em in, and with it
lower to the ground, loading them will be much easier than my
bed-over-wheels trailer was.
