Thats what I forgot, BRAKES!!!!! I have seen those wheel things (not correct name) that hook between truck and trailer that help with the extra load of a trailer on motorhomes. Do they have braking system? I am asuming they are a great addition in towing, and to a certian extent worth looking into. I would think if they had a brake system on them they would help out. Probably wouldn't be that hard to design and build my own with brakes. Did your trailer have brakes on all 4 wheels? I have seen some with only 2 wheel brakes, Did your burb have hydroboost or standard brakes? Hydroboost brakes are much better, that I do know. I bought burb for 400 bucks so even if I add better brakes and suspension I really wouldn't be hurting myself. Anybody else, please? STOCKERS RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rick.
