Re: towing

["Thomas E. Bryant" <saltracer@awwwsome.com>]

Trailer brakes required by law in most states above a certain weight? 
(3000 lbs. gross?)

"In California, brakes are required on any trailer coach or camp trailer 
having a gross weight of 1500 lbs. or more."

I certainly wouldn't want to tow without them. My trailer has hydraulic 
surge brakes. I can stop our rig just about as quickly with the trailer 
  as I can driving the truck alone.
