Long distance towing question..

[Jon G]

I was thinking about savine some money this summer, getting a rental in the Keys next winter cuase I've got some vacation to use. The truck is not a problem We just dorve it from the Cape to Phoenix AZ this winter. The problem is the trailer brake laws. Here in mass you don't need any breaks of your under 10k Gross on the trailer. this trailer is registered at 4K si I am way under. I looked at the towing laws up and down the east coast and was horrified at what I found. My trailer, No breaks, the only state that I am leagal in with my set up is Mass! I thought with all the rules and regs in this state that I had it made but for once Mass is the most leanient on trailer brakes on the whole east coast, go figure. At least one of hte states requires brakes on all axels too! What have you guys that have towed long distances have for break set ups? At this point I would probably need to buy a new Nextrail(not really in the budget) rather that retrofit my current trailer, which I just put two new axels and four new springs on($400) two weeks ago I love my dual axel, straight as an arrow with NO sway at all. any body have any stories about towing 95 south? DOT? State Police?
