Safe to tow 2600lb trailer without brakes?

I am not sure I understand what you meant by this.

 

I am assuming, since I don't live in NC, that if it's a dump, landscape or equipment trailer that it can be 4000lbs without any auxillary brakes, but if it's a mobile home it needs brakes if it's over 1000lbs. My question is what is the definition of a mobile home? Do they consider a 3000lb Jayco travel trailer a mobile home? Or do they only mean what is typically found in trailer parks, like single and double wides?

Are you towing something with a bathroom or is it a utility trailer?

 

I was just curious. I am not towing anything in the near future. But that is a good question. Who knows, I just moved down here, NC is ass backwards! lol.

 

I've been yanking around an enclosed trailer that weighs in at just about 3100#, no brakes. I had the trailer weighed in at the local scrap yard, because I had a feeling she was all there... Even with my drilled/slotted front rotors and good pads, it was a little sketchy braking at the bottom of hills!

It *can* be done, but I smartened up and am installing electric drum brakes soon as all my parts arrive...!

 

Yep, absolutely can be done but it sucks in the weather or on dirt. I have a fairly steep dirt driveway at my place, when I'm hooked and loaded I creep down that driveway or my trailer pushes the truck into the road at the bottom.
