Braking system???? What braking system???? Actually I was going to tow it on a trailer with brakes and changed to towing it on the ground just before we left because I wanted to save the 2000lbs my roll back weights (tow 5000lbs instead of 7000lbs). I would have had brakes and would not recommend anyone tow anything which does not meet the specifications of the tow vehicle. Mine specified that I needed trailer brakes for any towed item over 1000lbs. I knew I was pushing it and went slow and pulled over if someone wanted to pass. The brakes were fine and never got hot.

I used the Demco adaptors and tow bar which works fine.

We did not go to Silver Lake it?s just off Black Bear and we were alone (not a good idea on Black Bear if you make a mistake) so we didn?t want to take any side trips. Maybe next time we are in the area, thanks for the tip.
