How do I know if the trailer brakes are working?
I drove about 27km (16 miles) last night and when i got to the launch my truck brakes were stinking a bit and I noticed on a few hills i basically had to put the brakes on the truck to the floor to stop.
also, when reversing I always have to override with the pin or else the brakes lock up..
could something be wrong with the trailer?2006 Moomba Mobius LSV

If your brakes are locking up in reverse then they are working. I had that same problem. My truck was not sending power to the reverse lights on the trailer got it fixed and all is well now. Check to make sure that the center pole on your tow vehicle is getting power, I used a volt meter to check mine.
