As a newbie I didn't really understand how to check them when we started. I thought you just set the controller in the truck and go. We have a factory installed brake controller. There is a plus and minus to set the strength and two tabs that you squeeze together to test it. Testing is done by getting the truck and trailer up to 20 mph and then squeeze the tabs together. The trailer brakes should stop both the truck and trailer within 20-30 feet. I hope that helps you with your testing. Thanks for the comment.

Speaks highly of your truck brakes for sure. Or did I read that wrong.<br /><br />Wondering now, and may look up, how to test trailer brakes. I assume you just move the setting on the controller and see if the trailer brakes lock up. Any ideas on testing?<br /><br />Mark from Missourihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09690142492551842918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319658028250189179.post-32579540797768463862017-05-19T22:00:46.699-05:002017-05-19T22:00:46.699-05:00Thanks queen.

Had a great time with you two, hope we can get one more get together before you leave the area. Faye N Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630343244281603759noreply@blogger.com
