Very nice. No need for the shocks?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I wouldn't use the break-away controller as a parking brake for any length of time. It will finally drain the battery in the controller and the trailer will roll away.Essentially, you pull the break away controller cable, which immediately activates the brakes on the trailer, then pull your pins & back up. It'll dump if the brakes are properly adjusted. I know my car hauler will skid along with the wheels locked up if I pull out that cable or activate the brakes accidentally (works as a great parking brake too!)
I agree completely, but if he is looking for a quick solution to dump the trailer, it would work. I never use it long term on my car hauler, only a few minutes when required. If you have the trailer plugged into the truck while doing this, there is also a chance to back feed into the controller and fry that as well.I wouldn't use the break-away controller as a parking brake for any length of time.
