I was given a quote of almost $700 dollars to put electric brakes on my '62
Tradewind. I think that may have included something to do with the wheels
that needed to be changed as well, also the electric hook-up to the truck
which has it's system to hook into already. Someone suggested I just put a
whole new axle on the trailer. I hope to pursue this more today. The
retired guy whose family used to own the airstream dealership down here
doesn't have a phone number listed for his repair business on this shop so I
hope to catch him during business hours. Maybe he can fix my "flowing
fountains water system", with brakes and water I just might be able to head
for the ocean for a maiden voyage!
