Hiya,

Surge brakes will activate when you are going downhill, given the trailer is pushing against your tow vehicle...that would be the issue people would run into.

I know you can lock them out for going in reverse using a manual lock out, but many trailers have that as an automatic feature built into the electrical system/actuator for when you are in reverse...the lock will engage so the brakes do not engage if you were backing up a hill...

I would think there would be a way to get it done to lock the brakes out of use somehow... I'll do a little research to see what I can find. I could see your main thought here...that pull to florida...

Steve
