Re: [A/S] towing with a jeep-trying again

That happened to me a couple of months ago.
When we hooked up to go home from a camping trip, my breaks would not work.
The 7 way plug had too much corrison on it and the brake line would not make a good contact. So I had to drive home w/o trailer brakes.
Since I knew I was only towing a 5000lb trailer with my 3/4 ton heavy duty, I did not have to worry too much about it. We made it home w/o a worry.
So the extra truck was well worth it!
