Bob:
The wires associated with the brakeing come from the controller... back in the good
old days, (60's) the light and turn wires were
spliced in where ever the installer could find them... I remember him digging behind
the panels of my station wagon to find the light
wires....When factory trailer packages became popular the mfg's started running the
wires with the wire harnesses...
I think you might find that the trailer hauling business is more expensive than you
are willing to get into at this point... one accident
and your trailer friend will own your truck and maybe your trailer too...you might
want to go so far as to set up a corporation that can
shelter your personal property...Let XYZ towing ( a limited partnership) do the towing
and you go along to help drive...( I can hear
the plaintif's lawyer now... "Why your honor, the truck they were using was 35 years
old.!!!, no wonder they broke an axle, lost a
wheel and wrecked a vlaued family heirloom trailer....the loss of which has caused
unbearable pain and suffering to my client,, )
Some good deeds are just not worth the risk....At the very least get the trailer owner
to sign an agreement stating he understands
the risk and limits the damage claims to 100.00 regrardless of what happens...the
owner should be able to understand that you are
not a full time puller and don't carry the kind of protection that will cover every
crazy thing that might come along and damage his
trailler regardless of whose custody the law might think the trailer was in at the
time...(like acts of God, war, civil unrest and all the
other things contracts protect you against...) You need a lawyer now to make sure you
can afford one when you really need one...
As usual... Best of Luck..
