Looks like we're all forgetting something important....don't lock the brakes
up on ice, period! Whether the tow vehicle or the trailer brakes apply first
is not really material, just don't lock them up.

When the friction coefficient drops to zero, bad things are gonna happen.
Properly adjusted brakes and the use of the manual control on the controller
can get you out of some trouble. Stomping on the brake pedal will not.
