Default Re: Brakes: Trailer Question

Ya the bypass solenoid is standard on all disk brakes. With drum brakes they slip more at low speed so you don't need the bypass as much. One more trick when backing up a hill or over a bump is to let your rig roll forward a little as you put it in reverse. That allows the tongue to be pulled out so that when the bypass kicks in you aren't locking the brakes closed. This helps a lot if your backing up a driveway.

I pull a Malibu VLX 21" 4800 lbs with a tandem trailer with large vented disk brakes.

I just picked up a rinker 296 this season and this weekend will be the first time pulling it because we have a slip on the river but want to take it on some lakes this week. I will let you know how the h2 does.
