Howdy All;
My post above it strictly an opinion,
mine. Not meant to frustrate or belittle someone
else's decision on how they put
their trailer together. But, it's still my opinion.
Now about the breaking thing...
Weight on wheels has the most impact on how functional the breaks will be.
More weight, = more functional. up to a point, of course, there is always that point.
When you see a Big truck (semi), rollin' along folks generally think oh, he can stop quick
he's got them air breaks and big honkin' pads to grab that disk or
w i d e shoes inside those
large wheel. Funny thing is that truck's tires need a lot of weight to flatten the bottoms
of the tires so there is sufficient for friction to allow the breaks to work. Think about this,
the worst case of a vehicle needing to stop in a hurry is a Bob-tailin' Semi (no trailer). Zero
weight to speak of to press those tires on to the pavement add a small amount of moisture
I hated drivin' bob-tail. 1 I wasn't gettin' paid (no load), and 2 how dangerous it was. So,
give those guy an gals room and some respect, they earned it.
Breaks on a CT are good. they won't stop a space schuttle but neither will a Toyota.
