[quote="Ron on Meander"] | Quote: | | No one is even going to ask about your trailer at the border.

As long as your tow rig and trailer look like they can handle the load you won't have any problem. |
I went thru Canadian customs in Haines, AK in my epic journey getting my TomCat back to the Anchorage area after I bought it. I had salvaged the totally inoperable brakes into one axle of operational surge brakes with the other one capped off. It was the best option I had for getting the boat out of Ketchikan. No one EVER asked me about my trailer brakes or inspected them, just the standard money and firearms questions at the border.
I was the ONLY one concerned for my brakes as I was going down some of the larger hills.
Make your brakes work for your own piece of mind, but I wouldn't tell anyone to avoid Canada if you decide you're comfortable with whatever brake situation you have.
When I talked to the Ketchikan EZ-Loader dealer he acted like I must be a little crazy to try and get the brakes working again. He said he just removes the brakes himself and goes without.
