My 16' utility trailer has brakes on one axle. I might put brakes onto the other axle too but that's another story. It has a small gauge wire running the brakes now. It's wired half-baked in general, so I figured when I improve it I'll put the proper gauge wire for the brakes.
So what size wire to feed two brakes, and what size to feed four? Thanks!
Edit: I found this article which says 18 ga. for a 5-wire system, which is the type I have. So maybe mine is good to go.
