For the first time, I have a dual axle trailer with brakes. I was pulling my boat the other day and got to thinking about those trailer brakes. I know this will sound stupid to seasoned vets here, but how do I know they are actually working? Is there some sort of test I can perform?

Unplug your lights pigtail and try and back up a hill or incline. They should lock up.

Life is kinda hard but it's
better than the other options .. er ..option !
Get up to highway speed, brake quickly a few times and then pull off the road. The brake hubs should be warmer than the others.
If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
nothing else matters.
The trailer is not the original; this is an 06.

Just unplug your trailer lights and try and back up a slight incline or on a gravel road. If the rear wheels lock up, then you have brakes, if they don't then you will need to work on the brake system.
