Hi there - you all seem to know your stuff - I have a caravan braking question which I can't seem to get a proper answer for on the internet. I am looking for a definitive answer on braked towing weight and what classifies as a braked trailer...
If I have a mechanical handbrake on the caravan or trailer and it's got a working breakaway cable attached - does this count as a braked trailer?
It's not got any fancy braking, which works with the towing vehicle or anything.
Can you please tell me if it's a Yes or No answer and what I'd have to do to get a braked caravan - would I need to have proper disc or drum brakes on the trailer or caravan axle, which apply when I press the brakes in my car?!
Thanks
Andy
