    You're wanting to put a parking brake on a trailer?

    Just attach a chock to the trailer so it is always handy.

    A lot of new boat trailers come with parking brakes.

    Interesting. Because there's already not enough to go bad on a trailer. Let's add something unnecessary.

    i understand all guys telling that add a chock for this issue but....here is a llegal and stupid requeriment.
    i have reached and they can be put on disc brakes (i have installed in 10 boat trailers ) but now i have the problem with a drum brake system in a pontoon boat trailer comes with.
    i know they can be installed in some RV electric brake systems ready for this issue.
    thanks all, just to know if somebody has been familiarized with this issue
