Comment

So that the trailer does not roll away when you separate it from the towing vehicle, you should put on the pendant's parking brake. The trailer brake can overheat during longer downhill rides. In this case, you may have to take breaks when you leave. The brake brake is only activated when the trailer on the towing vehicle. If you drive uphill, this may not be the case when braking, depending on how strong you brake.
