[QUOTE="MaceFremonti, post: 2008263, member: 36696"] Once you finish your pretrip and are ready to leave you can start moving slowly forward then pull the handbrake. The newer state of the art trailers stop immediately. In the situation I posted the brakes were so out of adjustment this did nothing. No braking at all. I could literally drive around with handbrake down and have zero resistance from the trailer brakes. This method can also show you if the anti-locks are working correctly, sometimes one side will be active and working correctly while the other side is not. Some old school guys also like to use the handbrake instead of the foot brake when they have the cruise control on. This is NOT recommended.:eek: [/QUOTE]
