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.
Thank you
