Re: JEEP TRAILER
It's an old 85 motor home (C) with a strong chev 350 and 411's. The more I
think of this the more I think I need to get a newer MH with the Ford 10 cyl. Triton engine. But it will be a Motor Home pulling the trailer/Jeep. No more flat towing.

Ok, then a one brake axle should be fine. It isn't likely the trailer
and Jeep will overpower the motor home. Mike Andy wrote: > > It's an old 85 motor home (C) with a strong chev 350 and 411's.

Re: JEEP TRAILER
IIRC, some provinces (Quebec?) require brakes on all trailer axles for trailers over 2k lbs.

Re: JEEP TRAILER
That is good to know. It would be a drag having to drop the trailer at
a border.
