Re: [VAL] 71 soverign electric brakes and getting one reaady to tow



You will need to mount a break controler, about $100.  This hooks into 
your battery and ground of your Jeep.  Also leads from your break light 
switch down on your break pedal then the lead goes back to your 7 pin 
Bargman.  You will also tap into each break light as well as one tail 
light.   All that is left is the fused battery charge lead and a solid 
heavy ground.
Use a weight equlizer hitch and don't go over 55.  Go SLOWER down hill 
or you may fishtail and you Don't want that.... Load your trailer with 
12-15% weight on the tongue..
   I pulled a 27 foot 1970 for 5 years like that.
