General rule of thumb is if the trailer, fully loaded, weighs half the towing vehicles weight, brakes are NECESSARY, Anywhere close, and they are recommended.
In ONTARIO, the legal limit is 1350 kgs, about 3000 pounds. After that, brakes are manditory.
What type/make of trailer are you after?
I am looking at a small 8' Fleetwood camping trailer. This particular model has the electric brakes. It weighs roughly 1500 LBS.
