In most states, trailers that are allowed to weigh more than 2000# are required to have braking systems. Trailmanors come with electrically actuated brakes that are controlled by a small trailer brake controller that mounts within easy reach of the driver's seat. It is very important for your brake controller and your weight distributing hitch to be installed and adjusted correctly, and you'll probably want to have this work done by an experienced RV dealer who can set things up and explain it all to you.
If you haven't already, spend some time reading on the TrailManor web site (
www.trailmanor.com), and go visit a dealer or two. Talk to friends who own camping trailers, and learn from their mistakes and suggestions. Study your owners' manual, and plan to live within the limits it proposes.
