I've read through the other thread about adding trailer brakes, and I have a question. I've never had or used a trailer with brakes, so I found the whole electric v. surge comparison very interesting. Especially since I'm starting to shop for a trailer...
But am I correct in getting the idea that brakes can be added to a trailer without brakes by just bolting some sort of assembly on to the axles and then running wires or hydraulic lines? From an admittedly limited understanding and examination of a few catalogs/websites, I would have thought adding brakes would mean changing the whole axle assembly (or assemblies) to ones with brakes? Ahh the many things I learn as I blunder along...
