It has been my experience that ANY
trailer set properly will drag on gravel. I just use my jake brake and
gear down if I am driving a lot on gravel. Otherwise, you will have to
fiddle with the controller. Just one of those
things...
Okay, I sold my Brenderup and got a less expensive trailer (2000 Morgan
Built) to pay my bills. :) Back to electric brakes after many
years of the Brenderup's "inertia braking system" that was independent of my
truck. I have a brake controller on my truck from trailers prior to my
Brenderup (1993). But I seem to always be fussing with it. If it's
set on pavement, they seem to lock up on my gravel road. If I set it on
my gravel road, my truck is having to hold some of the weight of the trailer
if I don't get it just right... I was at Trucksmart and saw for
$159 a Draw Tight brake controller that is "inertia controlled". Is this
worth investing in replacing my regular one? I'm not sure how it
works. Input?
