Oh, it pulled sideways, as initially I wasn't in-line with it.

1500RPM in low-first & it came out on second attempt

--- Quote from: "Lumbering Jack" ---I may be wrong but am fairly sure electrically operated brakes aren't legal on trailers in th U.K.  though they are very popular in the U.S and Canada.

No, they're not, as a lot of boat trailers apparantly aren't road-legal when supplied with a US built boat

Not sure on that, as I know a lot of the 5th wheel caravans over here also have the electric brakes and I don't think they are replaced.  In that link above to the notes about trailers states that the regulations do not stipulate how the brakes are applied :?

One reason US boat trailers are illegal is their physical size but TBH no-one has given me a definetive answer on electric brakes.

Terranosaurus:
I have seen something somewhere about the HD (heavy duty) option defenders being 3500kg but the standard are a bit lower, might only be on the very latest ones though.

That applies to Gross vehicle weight not Gross trailer weight. All defenders can legally tow 3500kgs on over run brakes.

Normal 110's have a gross vehicle weight of 3050kg

Heavy duty 110's have a gross vehicle weight of 3500kg.
