I think the parking brake is a good idea, especially if you park on a 
incline. Water should not be an issue with the brakes sticking, but lack of 
movement will contribute to them sticking. With my trailer parked in my yard 
it's fairly level and I park it with the tires on 2X12 boards with the tires 
chocked and tires are covered with vinyl under skirting slid into the 
wheelwell. Trailer is used about once per month (sometimes more) but each 
time I have to carry the chocks just in case I get that perfectly un-level 
campsite. A parking brake would totally eliminate  the items (chocks) that I 
most often leave without. And yes one axle w/parking brake should be enough, 
if your on a real steep slope you can always look for a few good size rocks 
to use as chocks.
