When are Brakes Required on Trailers

•

If the trailer has a gross laden weight more than 910 kg

•

If the trailer weighs 50 per cent or more of the towing vehicle

If you will Google towing requirements in Ottowa Canada you will have access to their rules and regulations.  Each of our states have different requirements, and it would seem to me, this is not the place to ask. Safe Travels. 
 
 Bob, If this isn`t one of the places to ask such a ? They sure got the right answeres  LOL

Welcome to the forum and hope you enjoy your new camper.  Yes you need a brake controller, I think the law is anything over 2,000 lbs. Try amazon.com or Camping World for the propane tank cover.    David]]> Mon, 17 Jun 2013 22:20:15 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3627&PID=34459#34459 Hello : Newbie here got 2013 rp 177 towing... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3627&PID=34455#34455 Author: Newbie
